Polymers in Aqueous Media Selected Reviews

The years 2006-2008 were the most productive in terms of the number of reviews on amphiphilic polymers. Over ten detailed reviews on thermoresponsive water-soluble polymers were published in English in 2006 [1]. In Table 1 we list the reviews to date that are the most related to the scope of the current review and, from our point of view, those that fully cover all aspects of thermoresponsive polymers. The key phrases in the table are not just the key words given by the authors, but rather the highlights of the contents.
