Soft Functional Materials

Covering all aspects of soft functional materials, from fundamentals to engineering and applications, this comprehensive text outlines a step-by-step approach to refining the function and performance of small-molecule physical gels by tuning the network structure of the materials. Combining materials formation, engineering principles and approaches, and product design, it addresses a broad range of applications, including drug delivery, home and personal care, catalysis, and tissue engineering. A full-color insert illustrates key ideas and facilitates a complete understanding of the concepts.

Acoperind toate aspectele materialelor functionale moi, de la elementele fundamentale la inginerie si aplicatii, acest text cuprinde o abordare pas cu pas a rafinarii functiei si performantei gelurilor fizice cu molecule mici prin reglarea structurii retelei materialelor. Combinand formarea materialelor, principiile si abordarile ingineresti si proiectarea produselor, se adreseaza unei game largi de aplicatii, inclusiv livrarea medicamentelor, ingrijirea la domiciliu si personala, cataliza si ingineria tesuturilor.
