Descrizione Biomedical Hydrogels: Biochemistry, Manufacture and Medical Applications
Hydrogels are a type of polymer which, through a range of chemistries, can be manipulated to alter and control the hydrogel's interactions with cells and tissues. Due to their significant water content, hydrogels possess a degree of flexibility similar to natural tissue. This book explores the diverse range and use of hydrogels, focusing on processing methods and novel applications. Chapters in Part 1 review methods of synthesizing hydrogels, including chapters on hydrogel swelling and controlling the structure and properties of hydrogels. The final group of chapters analyzes applications such as spinal implants and ophthalmic prostheses.
