Polymeric Hydrogels as Smart Biomaterials by Susheel Kalia

Polymeric Hydrogels as Smart Biomaterials by Susheel Kalia

This book is concerned with polymeric hydrogels, which are considered as one of the most promising types of new polymer-based materials.

Dr. Susheel Kalia is Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Bahra University, Solan (H.P.) India. After completing his Ph.D. at Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar, India, he began working as Assistant Professor in Singhania University, (Rajasthan) and Bahra University (Shimla Hills) where he has been for the past five years. Kalia has around 40 research papers in international journals along with 80 publications in proceedings of national and international conferences and seven book chapters. Kalia's other editorial activities include work as a reviewer and memberships of editorial boards for various international journals. Additionally, he has edited a number of books such as, Handbook of Biopolymers and Their Application and Cellulose Fibers: Bio- and Nano- Polymer Composites.He is also a member of a number of professional organizations, including the Asian Polymer Association, Indian Cryogenics Council, the Society for Polymer Science, Indian Society of Analytical Scientists, and the International Association of Advanced Materials. Presently, Kalia's research is in the field of biocomposites, nanocomposites, conducting polymers, cellulose nanofibers, inorganic nanoparticles, hybrid materials, hydrogels and cryogenics.

Dr. Shao-Yun Fu joined his current position as a full professor at the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2002. He was awarded his PhD by CAS in 1993 and since then has held positions at the Leibnitz Institute of Polymer Research, Dresden, the Center for Advanced Materials, Nanyang Technical University (Singapore), the University of Sydney (Australia), the University of California at Riverside (USA) and City University of Hong Kong. Since June 2012, Fu is a visiting professor at Tohoku University, Shinshu University and Chiba University in Japan, as well as at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. Fu has published over 170 articles in peer-reviewed journals and one monograph entitled Science and Engineering of Short Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites together with Prof. Yiu-Wing Mai (University of Sydney) and Dr Bernd Lauke (Dresden, Germany). He has also contributed three chapters to English language and three chapters to Chinese language scientific books.
