This book is concerned with polymeric hydrogels, which are
considered as one of the most promising types of new polymer-based
materials. Each chapter in this book describes a selected class of
polymeric hydrogels, such as superabsorbent hybrid nanohydrogels,
conducting polymer hydrogels, polysaccharide-based or protein-based
hydrogels, or gels based on synthetic polymers. In this way, the
book also addresses some of the fascinating properties and
applications of polymeric hydrogels: they are three-dimensional,
hydrophilic, polymeric networks that can absorb, swell and retain
large quantities of water or aqueous fluids. In combination with
metal nanoparticles, nanofibrils or nanowhiskers, which may be
embedded in the gels, they find widespread applications, ranging
from agriculture, and waste water treatment, over electronics, to
pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Applications mentioned
in this book include electro sensors, capacitors, electromechanical
actuators, and even artificial muscles.
