Download or read book Hydrogels and Biodegradable Polymers for Bioapplications written by Raphael M. Ottenbrite and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of the August 1994 symposium was hydrogel biodegradation and bioapplications. Hydrogels are formed by adding a small amount of cross-linked macromolecular material to a large amount of water, which produces an apparent solid. This volume addresses reversible hydrogels, stimuli-sensitive hydrogels. and some in vivo applications of hydrogels. The volume contains 20 chapters and is directed to organic, physical, polymer, and biochemists as well as biologists, materials scientists, and bioengineers.
