Smart Polymers - (De Gruyter Stem) by José Miguel García & Félix Clemente García & José Antonio Reglero Ruiz & Saúl Vallejos & Miriam Trigo-López
About this item
Highlights
- Smart polymers react sharply to small changes in physical or chemical conditions and present an intelligent response to chemical stimuli (i.e., chemical species -including biomolecules-, pH, solvents, redox, stimuli that trigger controlled depolymerization) and physical stimuli (i.e., temperature, light, mechanical stress and electrical stimuli).

Description
About the Book
Smart polymers react sharply to small changes in physical or chemical conditions and present an intelligent response to the presence of different biomolecules. For these reasons, the interest in smart polymers has recently increased exponentially. TBook Synopsis
Smart polymers react sharply to small changes in physical or chemical conditions and present an intelligent response to chemical stimuli (i.e., chemical species -including biomolecules-, pH, solvents, redox, stimuli that trigger controlled depolymerization) and physical stimuli (i.e., temperature, light, mechanical stress and electrical stimuli). For these reasons, the interest in smart polymers has recently increased exponentially, especially in biological stimuli (i.e., application of polymer-based biosensors, drug delivery, tissue engineering, precision medicine and cell therapy). This book offers a unique opportunity to review the physical-chemical fundamentals of smart polymers, and their behaviour. It also provides an excellent review of the main applications of smart polymers.
