Stimuli-responsive hydrogels/nanogels are soft materials that can change their structure or mechanical properties in response to environmental triggers. These gels can be used for a variety of biomedical applications such as drug delivery, hemostasis, biosensors, wound healing and so on.

Stimuli-responsive amphiphilic copolymers are a type of smart material that can change their composition or conformation when exposed to triggers inside or outside the cell. These triggers can include variations in light, heat, or pH. They are found to be efficient to deliver hydrophobic drugs.

Flocculation is a process by which an external reagent added to the water that facilitates bonding between particles. This forms larger aggregates, which are easier to separate. The polymeric flocculants are widely used in the wastewater treatment plants.

Photocatalysts are converting solar energy into chemical energy. Polymeric photocatalysts demonstrate excellent efficacy towards the water purification and environmental remediation through degradation of toxic pollutants present in the wastewater/effluent.
