Polymers “that adapt to environmental stimulations to change their own properties are called smart polymers.  Smart polymers adapt to chemical or physical stimulations including temperature, pressure, pH value, and electric fields to initiate contracting or expanding and produce a change larger than 1,000 times their original size.”
