The first book to tackle the application of smart polymers in
bioseparation and bioprocessing, Smart Polymers: Applications in
Biotechnology and Biomedicine broke new ground in this challenging
field. Completely revised, updated, and following in the footsteps
of its predecessor, the second edition is poised to take its place
as a premier reference in this field. This new edition considers
those polymers in which a highly nonlinear response of a smart
polymer to small changes in the external medium is of critical
importance for the successful functioning of the system. The
systems discussed are based on soluble/insoluble transition of
smart polymers in aqueous solution, on conformational transitions
of the macromolecules physically attached or chemically grafted to
a surface and on the shrinking/swelling of covalently cross-linked
networks of macromolecules, i.e. smart hydrogels. The book focuses
on the theory describing the behavior of smart polymers in
solution, as gels, and when grafted to surfaces. It provides solid,
quantitative descriptions and reliable guidelines, reflecting the
maturation of the field and the demand for the development of new
smart polymer systems. The coverage highlights smart gels and
especially fast responding and macroporous gels, as these gels pave
the way to different applications of smart polymers in the areas
ofbioseparation, drug release, and microfluidics. With
contributions from leading researchers as well as extensive
end-of-chapter references, this volume offers a comprehensive
overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field and the
potential for future developments.
