Description
Summary:There is much recent interest in the field of molecular gels because of their potential use in many different applications including biomedicine and electronic materials. Functional Molecular Gels details the latest research on molecular gels from the fundamentals of molecular gel formation to their uses in a variety of fields. The book introduces the key concepts of designing molecular gels and their characterization techniques, followed by chapters discussing different stimuli responsive systems. Specific chapters are then dedicated to the diverse range of applications including catalysis, tissue engineering, photonic materials and as templates for nanostructured materials. Written by active researchers in the area, this book gives a taste of the possibilities that molecular gels offer for those both new to and already working in the area.
