Polymers that react differently to various stimuli or environmental changes are known as smart polymers. The book Smart Polymers and Their Applications examines the different kinds, synthesis, characteristics, and uses of smart polymers. Part one's chapters concentrate on different kinds of polymers, such as those that are pH, temperature, photo, and enzyme-responsive. Additionally investigated are hydrogels made of smart polymers, shape memory polymers, and self-healing polymer systems. The uses of smart polymers in medical devices for minimally invasive surgery, diagnosis, and other applications; smart polymer nanocarriers for drug delivery; smart instructive polymer substrates for tissue engineering; and smart polymers for bioseparation and other biotechnology applications are all highlighted in part two. Subsequent chapters cover the applications of smart polymers in packaging, textiles, and optical data storage. Smart Polymers and their Applications is a technical resource for polymer industry professionals such as chemists, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, and manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors; it is also intended for academic researchers in polymer science. Examines the various forms of smart polymers, talking about their characteristics, architecture, structure, and design. Examines the uses of smart polymers in the fields of food packaging, textiles, and biomedical engineering.
