Bridging the gap between biomaterials scientists and ophthalmologists, this book includes overviews of devices and cutting-edge research on current and future strategies to treat acute and chronic diseases in the eye.    Edited by leaders in the field, the book provides perspectives for both biomaterials scientists and ophthalmologists. Biomaterials scientists are given a background to the challenges in ophthalmology that advanced materials could solve. Ophthalmologists are provided a background on materials to enable them to better understand the devices they are using and their advantages and challenges. All readers are provided with a critical review of the current and future state of devices that are being used or are under development in devices, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery.   This book is for those working in biomaterials science, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, and clinicians specialising in ophthalmology, as well as those working in polymer science-based medical technologies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530859278609,"sku":"NLS9781839164415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52755631833361,"sku":"NIN9781839164415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781839164415.jpg?v=1760654106"},{"product_id":"multicomponent-hydrogels-book-jagan-mohan-dodda-9781839167270","title":"Multicomponent Hydrogels","description":"Hydrogels are highly hydrated three dimensional networks with the ability to mimic the extracellular matrix of bodily tissues and have thus found application in a wide range of biomedical applications. Unique physiochemical properties such as biocompatibility, water permeability, stimuli responsiveness and self-healing characteristics make them especially useful for use as scaffolds and matrices drug delivery, tissue engineering\/regeneration and sensing. Their weak and brittle nature, however, often limits their widespread application where improved mechanical strength is required.   To resolve this problem, there has been a significant amount of research into the improvement of their mechanical properties. Among these efforts, versatile multicomponent hydrogels have received much attention as their physiochemical properties can be structurally engineered to provide a wide range of desired properties. These multicomponent formulations also allow for the combination of natural and synthetic polymers, which offers the scope to exploit the advantages of each component, with the synergistic effects resulting from mutual interactions.   This book critically discusses the fundamental chemistry, synthesis, characterisation, physiochemical and biological properties of various types of multicomponent hydrogels. It reviews the different strategies employed in designing and synthesizing cutting-edge multicomponent hydrogels and their key applications in biomedical fields.    The work is suitable for researchers working in the specific area of multicomponent hydrogels, and also more generally for those working in materials science, biomedical engineering, biomaterials science and tissue engineering.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52617890201873,"sku":"NLS9781839167270","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53223833731345,"sku":"NIN9781839167270","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781839167270.jpg?v=1761531622"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/biomaterials-science-series-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
