In general, poly N-isopropylacrylamide and Poly N-vinylcaprolactam are frequently used for temperature responsive polymers. In order to achieve pH sensitivity, they are copolymerized with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid and so on.

One of the examples for pH and temperature sensitive polymer with biodegradable properties is hereby attached.
