Smart polymers are also known as intelligent materials, and are polymers that are responsive to stimuli in a very dynamic manner. Depending on the type of change that a smart polymer undergoes under different circumstances, several industry verticals are finding use for them today. Most smart polymers are responsive to changes in acidity or pH, light, and temperature, while a few specialized polymers can be made sensitive to chemical changes and abrasion or friction.

A large portion of the overall use for smart polymers has so far been in medicine, in the creation of bio-separation agents for tissue engineering as well as in certain therapeutic agents. With most of the application scope for the global smart polymers market ending up in medicine, recent developments have finally allowed the market to break into other industry verticals.

Where do Smart Polymers go in Healthcare?

While new avenues are opening up for smart polymers in completely new industry verticals, the overall application scope for them in healthcare and medical devices seems to be increasing at a similar pace. There are expected to be a very high number of applications for smart polymers in the biomedical applications, especially in tissue engineering, biocatalyst, bioseparation, and drug delivery. The overall scope of smart polymers in drug delivery what is driving the global smart polymers market currently, and will continue to do so for the immediate future.

Meanwhile, the scope of smart polymers in other healthcare applications is being developed by several players. DiFusion Inc., for instance, recently announced the completion of a test series where smart biomaterials were used in in vivo and in vitro studies. The company is currently holding multiple patents in a variety of fields including tissue regeneration, antimicrobial, and load bearing implants, most of which make use of smart materials and polymers.
