This volume covers experimental and theoretical advances on the
relationship between composition, structure and macroscopic
mechanical properties of novel hydrogels containing dynamic bonds.
The chapters of this volume focus on the control of the mechanical
properties of several recently discovered gels with the design of
monomer composition, chain architecture, type of crosslinking or
internal structure. The gels discussed in the different chapters
have in common the capability to dissipate energy upon deformation,
a desired property for mechanical toughness, while retaining the
ability to recover the properties of the virgin material over time
or to self-heal when put back in contact after fracture. Some
chapters focus on the synthesis and structural aspects while others
focus on properties or modelling at the continuum or mesoscopic
scale. The volume will be of interest to chemists and material
scientists by providing guidelines and general structure-property
considerations to synthesize and develop innovative gels tuned for
applications. In addition it will provide physicists with a better
understanding of the role of weak interactions between molecules
and physical crosslinking on macroscopic dissipative properties and
self-healing or self-recovering properties.

The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of
the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science. It
covers all areas of research in polymer and biopolymer science
including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, material science.
The thematic volumes are addressed to scientists, whether at
universities or in industry, who wish to keep abreast of the
important advances in the covered topics. Advances in Polymer
Science enjoy a longstanding tradition and good reputation in its
community. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each
review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it
within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summarize
the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss
them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and
illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many
important references of primary literature. On that basis, future
research directions in the area can be discussed. Advances in
Polymer Science volumes thus are important references for every
polymer scientist, as well as for other scientists interested in
polymer science - as an introduction to a neighboring field, or as
a compilation of detailed information for the specialist. Review
articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume
editors. Single contributions can be specially commissioned.
Readership: Polymer scientists, or scientists in related fields
interested in polymer and biopolymer science, at universities or in
industry, graduate students.
