The last decade has witnessed multiple thermally responsive materials emerge as a significant class of stimuli-responsive materials. These materials are elaborately designed and exert interesting properties. Herein, an overview of thermally responsive materials with respect to design strategies, fabrication procedures, and their applications is presented. Recently reported thermally responsive materials are highlighted. Then, applications of thermally responsive materials in bioimaging are summarized.
Keywords: bioimaging; materials; thermal response.
