Natural and Synthetic Hydrogels: Rational Design, Synthesis and Biomedical Applications provides a comprehensive text on hydrogels and their biomedical uses, covering both fundamental and applied aspects of hydrogels. Hydrogels are three-dimensional network of cross-linked polymers or particles that contain a large amount of water. They have received tremendous attention for applications in biomedicines, which has led to significant progress in the design and engineering of the hydrogels to meet the needs for such applications. The book covers the recent developments that have been made in this field, including new applications of hydrogels, providing a new and fresh overview of hydrogels and their applications. Natural and Synthetic Hydrogels: Rational Design, Synthesis and Biomedical Applications is valuable to upper level undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and progressors teaching fundamental and applied aspects of hydrogels.
