This updated edition is organized into three essential sections, opening with an introduction to polymeric gels and the technologies for their design and development. The second section systematically covers the subtypes of polymeric gels, dedicating each chapter to one subtype. Readers are guided through the core concepts, synthesis methods and preparation techniques, characterization, unique properties, and potential applications, allowing for a fundamental overview of each gel type. The final section focuses on key biomedical applications, supported by practical and clinical case studies to aid understanding and assist with translation from research to practice. “Polymeric Gels, 2nd Edition” is a comprehensive guide for an interdisciplinary audience, including researchers, academics, and postgraduate students new to biomedical polymeric gels who seek an in-depth overview. This book may also appeal to clinicians interested in exploring innovative biomaterial treatments.
