About the Book

Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks composed of hydrophilic homopolymers or copolymers, able to swell in water. Due to their high water content and rubbery consistency, similar to natural tissue, as well as their biocompatability, hydrogels derived from synthetic or natural materials are used in clinical and experimental medicine for a wide range of applications, including tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (surgical sutures, artificial organs, soft tissue prostheses, soft contact lenses), membranes for biosensors, cellular immobilization, separation of biomolecules or cells (hemodialysis membranes), barrier materials to regulate biological adhesions, and drug delivery systems. Advanced drug delivery systems offer potential advantages by affording both a kinetic control by maintenance of a drug level in the therapeutically desired range and a special control by targeted delivery allowing reduction of systemic side effects. This new important book gathers the latest research from around the globe in this dynamic field.

Table of Contents:
Preface; Engineering Hydrogels for Tissue Regeneration; Swelling Behavior of Poly (N-Vinylimidazole) Hydrogels. Roles of the Inherent Porosity, Cross-linking Density and Ionization; Hydrogels with Cyclodextrins as Highly Versatile Drug Delivery Systems; History and Continued Development of Drug Delivery Systems Based on Smart Negative Temperature Sensitive Hydrogels; Smart Hydrogels in Drug Delivery -- Developments and Trends; Injectable Hydrogels for Biomedical Formulations; Optical Sensing of Organic Compounds Using Responsive Hydrogels; Gelation of MC and HPMC in Various Media; Chemically Modified Gellan and Xanthan Based Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications; Photoinitiator-free Photopolymerization Technique for Hydrogel Syntheses; Cyclodextrin-based Polymers as Support for the Biofiltration of Air Polluted with Toluene; Collagen-based Hydrogels and Applications in Regenerative Medicine; Application of Hydrogels to Rewire the Injured Spinal Cord; Influence of Temperature on Swelling and Mechanical Properties of Hydrogels of Poly (1-(3-sulfopropyl) -2-vinyl -- pyridinum -- betain --co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate); Poly (ethylene oxide)-poly (propylene oxide) Block Copolymer Micelles and Gels in Drug Delivery: State-of-the-Art and Future Perspectives; Hydrogels as Precursors for Functional Materials Having a Well Defined Hierarchical Pore System of Micro-, Meso- and Macropores; BioGels for Neural Tissue Engineering; Design and Evaluation of Hydrogel Films Based on Polymeric Blends; Microemulsion Polymerization Process: Theory, Development and Applications; Application of Hydrogels in the Investigation into Molecular Diffusion Based on Refractive Index Measurements; On the Interpretation of Calorimetric Thermal Transition of Water in Hydrogels; Water Mobility in Hydrogels; Hydrogels for Cell Printing (Peter K.
