Used in drug delivery systems due to its temperature-responsive behavior, enabling controlled release of therapeutic agents. Employed in tissue engineering as a smart scaffold material that supports cell growth and can be easily removed by lowering the temperature. Applied in biosensors and microfluidic devices where reversible swelling and shrinking improve sensitivity and response time. Utilized in water treatment for separating biomolecules through thermally induced precipitation. Also found in wound dressings that respond to body temperature for improved healing.
