Abstract: The basic concepts and species of the intelligent hydrogel and the responsive behaviors of the intelligent polymers to the changes of surrounding temperature, pH, and light signal were introduced in this paper on the basis of some successful samples. The applications of the intelligent polymers were described in the fields of farming-forest and sanitation, and the future development for these materials was prospected.

Key words: Intelligent polymers, Intelligent hydrogels, Phase transition, Shape memory
