See the shrink: Systematic modification of poly(methyl methacrylate) leads to a chemomechanical polymer that selectively contracts in the presence of glucose at physiological levels in human blood plasma. The polymer also exhibits good reversibility allowing continuous expansion–contraction cycles.
