Recent Advances in Gel Chemistry : Properties and Applications

In the last few years, an extended range of applications from medicine to material science has arisen a renewed interest in gels. These latter ones are dilute cross-linked systems, which manifests no flow when in the steady-state. This book reviews the recent advances in gel chemistry, considering their properties and applications. In particular, it treats supramolecular gels, metal-organic gels, hydrogels, dynamic covalent gels, polymer gels, and inorganic gels.
