Hydrogels and Biodegradable Polymers for Bioapplications

This volume examines the use of reversible, stimuli-sensitive hydrogels and in-vivo applications of hydrogels. It discusses current issues in biodegradation, such as controlled release from degradable matrices, degradation of synthetic materials in marine and soil environments and time-related degradation of support devices and other applications of materials. The book also looks at applications of biomaterials and hydrogels.
