Opis: Handbook of Stimuli-Responsive Materials - Marek W. Urban

The Handbook on Stimuli-Responsive Materials is providing the scientific community with the comprehensive developments of scientific findings and advanced technologies - all necessary factors to propel the development of polymeric, ceramic, metallic, composite, bio and the combination of thereof, materials to the position of controllable responses under defined, predictable, yet complex internal and external conditions. The primary focus of the proposed Handbook is on designing, formulating, and processing of materials that lead to the understanding of scientific principles of their response-driven functions and processes leading to response-driven behaviors. The volume gathers leading scientists from the inter-disciplinary areas of polymers, biopolymers, biochemistry, and biophysics, biomaterials, bioengineering, materials engineering and biotechnology, chemistry and physics, ceramic and metals, and materials science. "The book chapters are well selected, clearly written and well-organized and address a broad group of readers, including students, industrial scientists, and university scholars involved in the areas of biomaterials; polymer science, materials, and engineering; surface and colloidal science, coatings, nano- and biotechnology, sensors and actuators."
