These materials are of particular interest due to their abilities to respond to internal and\/or external chemo-physical stimuli. Aside from the scientific challenges of designing stimuli-responsive polymer gels, the main technological interests concern numerous applications, ranging from catalysis in microsystem technology and chemo-mechanical actuators to sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Special Issue includes seventeen papers covering a wide range of subjects including thermo- and pH-responsive hydrogels, functionalized materials, supramolecular stimuli-responsive structures, composite hydrogels, sensors, and biomedical applications. Together, these contributions not only provide an excellent overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field but also point out exciting challenges and opportunities for future work. In a number of reviews the most recent findings on \"Stimuli-Responsive Gels\" are compiled in this book supplemented by original contributions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dirk Kuckling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303897210X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038972105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mdpi AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.78d","brand":"Dirk Kuckling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454027444479,"sku":"9783038972105","price":72.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cae07e5-ad0b-4e74-a4b4-ab8b9a0017fb.jpg?v=1777303741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stimuli-responsive-gels-dirk-kuckling-9783038972105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
