Springer - Smart Hydrogel Functional Materials Book

Smart Hydrogel Functional Materials provides a systematic look at our current understanding of intelligent hydrogel materials that respond to environmental stimuli. Published by Springer, this text covers a wide range of topics essential for researchers and students in the field of chemistry and materials science. The book explores everything from standard hydrogels and hydrogel-functionalized membranes to microgels and hydrogel-functionalized microcapsules. It details various response properties, including thermo-response, pH-response, and pH/thermo-dual-response. Readers will also find information on glucose-response, ethanol-response, ion-recognition, and molecular-recognition. By presenting fresh achievements in the field, this resource serves as a comprehensive guide to how these materials react to their surroundings. It is an essential addition to any scientific library focused on functional materials and advanced chemical research.
