{"product_id":"hydrogels-richard-sayler-9781787152960","title":"Hydrogels: Design Synthesis and Application","description":"\u003cp\u003eFundamentals of Hydrogels: Provide a comprehensive overview of hydrogels, including their chemical structure, physical properties, and types (e.g., natural, synthetic, and hybrid hydrogels). Discuss the principles of water absorption, swelling behavior, and the gelation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign and Synthesis Methods: Explore various methods for designing and synthesizing hydrogels, including polymerization techniques (e.g., free-radical, ionic, and condensation polymerization), cross-linking strategies, and the use of different monomers and cross-linkers. Discuss how design parameters affect the properties and performance of hydrogels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharacterization Techniques: Discuss the techniques used to characterize hydrogels, including spectroscopy (e.g., FTIR, NMR), microscopy (e.g., SEM, TEM), rheology, and mechanical testing. Provide insights into how these techniques are used to assess hydrogel structure, swelling behavior, and mechanical properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplications and Innovations: Examine a range of applications for hydrogels, including biomedical uses (e.g., drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound dressings), environmental applications (e.g., water purification, soil conditioning), and industrial uses (e.g., superabsorbents, contact lenses). Highlight recent innovations and emerging trends in hydrogel technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Sayler,Driss Cherqaoui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1787152960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787152960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kruger Brentt Publisher Uk.
