Hydrogels are networks of polymer chains which can produce a
colloidal gel containing over 99 per cent water. The
superabsorbency and permeability of naturally occurring and
synthetic hydrogels give this class of materials an amazing array
of uses. These uses range from wound dressings and skin grafts to
oxygen-permeable contact lenses to biodegradable delivery systems
for drugs or pesticides and scaffolds for tissue engineering and
regenerative medicine. Biomedical Applications of Hydrogels
Handbook provides a comprehensive description of this diverse class
of materials, covering both synthesis and properties and a broad
range of research and commercial applications. The Handbook is
divided into four sections: Stimuli-Sensitive Hydrogels, Hydrogels
for Drug Delivery, Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering, and Hydrogels
with Unique Properties.
Key Features:
- Provides comprehensive coverage of the basic science and
applications of a diverse class of materials
- Includes both naturally occurring and synthetic hydrogels
- Edited and written by world leaders in the field.
