Concentrating on the process, formation, structure, and behavior of bio- and synthetic polymer gels and 12 papers introduce fundamental concepts and describes potential uses of gel technology. Topics include cascade formalism and network formation, thermoreversible and irreversible physical gels, solutions of associating polyelectrolytes, polyelectrolyte-catanionic vesicle systems, metal nanoparticle formation, polyelctrolyte/ionomer behavior, electrical behaviors and mechanical responses, nuclear magnetic resonance spetroscopy, and rhythmically pulsing gels. Contributors include chemists, biomedical engineers, physicists, and other scientists from the United States, Europe, and Asia. Annotation c.
