Abstract
The present invention includes compositions, methods, systems and kits for the controlled delivery of an active agent within a polymeric network upon the binding of a molecule that decreases the structural integrity of the polymeric network at one or more micro- or nanovacuoles.

A molecule-imprinted reversible polymeric network composition comprising:
- an ethylene glycol dimethacrylate crosslinked release molecule-imprinted polyacrylamide polymer one or more nanovacuoles disposed within the ethylene glycol dimethacrylate crosslinked polyacrylamide polymer that recognizes the release molecule;
- and
- one or more active agents disposed in the ethylene glycol dimethacrylate crosslinked active agent-imprinted polyacrylamide polymer;
- wherein the subsequent presence and binding of the release molecule by the polymer creates reversible internal stresses so as to release the active agent.
