"1 polymer version soluble in water at low temperatures/ insoluble at higher temperatures... other version opposite behavior... polymer programmed to achieve different behaviors easily adaptable to different applications...  new mechanism governs critical temperature threshold... dipole-dipole interaction predicted temperature at which polymer dissolves... medicine (single capsule dissolves in heat of stomach in 2 stages allowing precise medicine delivery), protein synthesis, protective coatings"
