Back Cover: γ-CD-recognition responsive characteristics of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-benzo-12-crown-4-acrylamide) (PNB12C4) hydrogels are investigated. The formation of stable γ-CD/B12C4 complexes induces positive shift of the volume phase transition temperature of PNB12C4 hydrogels. Increase of γ-CD concentration in solution or B12C4 content in PNB12C4 copolymer networks can dramatically enhance the γ-CD-recognition sensitivity of the PNB12C4 hydrogels. This is reported by Yun-Yan Wei, Zhuang Liu, Xiao-Jie Ju,* Kun Shi, Rui Xie, Wei Wang, Zhengdong Cheng, and Liang-Yin Chu* in article number 1600386.
