Sustainable Hydrogels: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

Sustainable Hydrogels: Synthesis, Properties and Applications highlights the development of sustainable hydrogels from various perspectives and covers a range of topics, including the development and utilization of abundant and/or inexpensive biorenewable monomers to create hydrogels; the mimicry of variable properties inherent to successful commercial hydrogels; and the creation of bio-based hydrogels that are functional equivalents of fossil fuel-derived hydrogels with respect to their properties, yet are capable of benign degradation over much shorter timescales. Some of the challenges facing sustainable polymer chemistry are also discussed. Shifts the focus from theory to practice and demonstrates how the cradle-to-cradle approach support sustainability Includes discussion of life cycle assessments in the production and use of hydrogels Presents various materials for the production of hydrogels INDICE: 1.
