Hydrogels can be found in everyday items such as contact lenses, shoe sole cushions, vitamin capsules and wound dressings. Their varied use means that this is still an intense area of research and a concise summary of polymeric and self assembled hydrogels is needed to assist researchers and progress the field.
The new book, Polymeric and Self Assembled Hydrogels, provides an essential overview of hydrogel research from basic fundamental research to applied and platform technologies, and commercially viable applications.
Experts in the field discuss the cutting-edge developments in the field of hydrogels including supramolecular approaches to the formation of hydrogels, ‘slide-ring’’ hydrogels based on cyclodextrin inclusion complexes, peptide hydrogels, thermogelling polymers and applications in chemo-sensing and biomedical fields.
