Topics focus on the classification of gels based on small molecules and polymer gellers, biogels, stimulation conditions, topological, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects and characterization techniques. The book outlines structure and characterization concepts in order to provide pragmatic tools for the design and tailoring of new functional gel architectures. It provides an important source for readers and researchers who are currently or may soon be in research with gels, presenting an overview of fundamental topics.
- Highlights the building-blocks that make up the main functional groups that result in gelator compounds
- Provides an accessible source to the most common responses of gels, classified in their functional groups
- Outlines major characterization techniques, showing how they can be combined
Graduate students, researchers, professors, and industrial experts working in the fields of gelator design and formulation
