Stimuli‐Responsive Phosphorus‐Based Polymers

This microreview details recent developments in stimuli‐responsive polymers with phosphorus in the main‐chain, in particular polyphosphazenes and polyphosphoesters. The presence of phosphorus in the polymers endows unique properties onto the macromolecules, which can be utilized for the preparation of materials capable of physically responding to specific stimuli. Achieving the desired responsiveness has been much facilitated by recent developments in synthetic polymer chemistry, in particular controlled synthesis and backbone functionalization phosphorus‐based polymers, in order to achieve the required properties and hence responsiveness of the materials. The development of phosphorus‐based polymers which respond to the most important stimuli are discussed, namely, pH, oxidation, reduction, temperature and biological triggers. The polymers are placed in the context not just of each other but also with reference to state‐of‐the‐art organic polymers.
