Abstract: Temperature-sensitive hydrogels are intelligent materials,which can response to the temperature and have been widely applied to controlled release of medicine,separation membranes,tissue engineering scaffolds,and so forth.Intelligent fabrics based on temperature-sensitive hydrogels can be made by grafting the copolymerization of the hydrogel polymers onto the surface of fabrics or coating the fabrics by the polymer solution.This paper focuses on some development cases dealing with smart breathable fabric,controlled releasing medicine fabric,smart wound dressing,smart wetsuit,smart anti-soaking suit and smart temperature-adaptable sportswear,etc.Moreover,the prospective applications to other intelligent fabrics are elaborated.
