About this ebook

Polymeric Gels: Characterization, Properties and Biomedical Applications, Second Edition offers a fully revised and expanded reference, featuring five new chapters and a stronger emphasis on practical translation, in a new, detailed collection of case studies. This updated edition is organized into three essential sections, opening with an introduction to polymeric gels and the technologies for their design and development. The second section systematically covers the subtypes of polymeric gels, dedicating each chapter to one subtype. Readers are guided through the core concepts, synthesis methods and preparation techniques, characterization, unique properties, and potential applications, allowing for a fundamental overview of each gel type.The final section focuses on key biomedical applications, supported by practical and clinical case studies to aid understanding and assist with translation from research to practice. This book provides a comprehensive guide for an interdisciplinary audience, including researchers, academics, and postgraduate students new to biomedical polymeric gels who seek an in-depth overview. It may also appeal to clinicians interested in exploring innovative biomaterial treatments. - Provides a fully revised edition, including thorough updates throughout and brand-new content on aerogels, poloxamer hydrogels, and applications in biosensing, tissue engineering, and wound healing - Guides readers through each gel subtype, thoroughly detailing core concepts, characterization, properties, and biomedical applications for each - Utilizes key methods and case studies to facilitate translation into research and therapeutics
