β¦ Synopsis
Comprehensive resource presenting a thorough overview of the biomedical applications of hydrogels
This book provides an overview of the development and applications of the clinically relevant hydrogels that are used particularly in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it goes through the material from chemistry, materials science, biology, medicine, nanotechnology, and bioengineering points of view. Sample topics covered by the three well-qualified editors include
The design, functions, and developments of hydrogels
Proteins and polysaccharides that mimic extracellular matrix
Generation and applications of supramolecular hydrogels
Design and functions of cell encapsulation systems
Multifunctional Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications is a useful all-in-one reference work for materials scientists, polymer chemists, and bioengineers which provides a comprehensive, contemporary understanding of hydrogels and their applications targeting a wide variety of pathologies.
