Polymer Gels Perspectives and Applications

Gels Horizons: From Science to Smart Materials Series editor Vijay Kumar Thakur, School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing, Cranfield University, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, UK

This series aims at providing a comprehensive collection of works on the recent advances and developments in the domain of Gels, particularly as applied to the various research fields of sciences and engineering disciplines. It covers a broad range of topics related to Gels ranging from Polymer Gels, Protein Gels, Self-Healing Gels, Colloidal Gels, Composites/Nanocomposites Gels, Organogels, Aerogels, Metallogels & Hydrogels to Micro/Nano gels. The series provides timely and detailed information on advanced synthesis methods, characterization and their application in a broad range of interrelated fields such as chemistry, physics, polymer science & engineering, biomedical & biochemical engineering, chemical engineering, molecular biology, mechanical engineering and materials science & engineering. This Series accepts both edited and authored works, including textbooks, monographs, reference works, and professional books. The books in this series will provide a deep insight into the state-of-art of Gels and serve researchers and professionals, practitioners, and students alike.
