According to Custom Market Insights (CMI), the Global Smart Polymer Market size was estimated at USD 4.08 Billion in 2021 and is expected to hit around USD 10.08 Billion by 2030, poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.53% from 2022 to 2030.
Smart polymers are also known as functional polymers and stimuli-response polymers are high-performance polymers that undergo changes according to external environmental factors. For instance, Ista and Lopez employed poly(N-isopropyl acryl-amide) (PNIPAAM), which undergoes rapid and reversible changes in response to external environmental factors such as PH, temperature, climate, light, and among others. The properties of smart polymers are tough, easy to process, resilient, flexible, and biocompatible. It finds a wide range of applications in various end-use industries such as automotive, electronics, textile, biotechnology, nuclear energy, and many others.
