Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The studies on Biohydrogels have had a rapid, exponential evolution in the lastdecades. Starting from one of the first applications of hydrogels in surgery,polyvinylalcohol crosslinked with formaldehyde under the trade name of Ivalon, wepassed through PolyHema hydrogels as contact lens materials, hydrophilicpolyurethanes (HPU), biodegradable hydrogels for both reconstructive surgery andpharmaceutical delivery systems, and finally more recently, one decade old, thethermoreversible and transient network hydrogels. Of course all these classes ofhydrogels have been always and continuosly studied, improving their performance andfield of applications. Recently, most of them have been used as scaffolds for cells,even stem ones, for regenerative applications (tissue engineering). Neverthelesshydrogels are odd materials and many studies still have to be carried out to fullyunderstand their behaviour from mechanical, physicochemical and biological point ofview.…
