Hard Back. Condizione: Near Fine. No Dust Jacket. 345 Pages Indexed. Used book in As New condition. Two line owner's name on front endpaper. Interior text pages and binding are flawless. This book contains papers originally presented at the Symposium on Polymer Gels organized and sponsored by The Society of Polymer Science of Ja…pan and co-sponsored by the Science and Technology Agency (ST A) and MITI, Japan. The Symposium took place at Tsukuba Science City in September, 1989. Recognized experts in their fields were invited to speak and there was a strong attendance from government, academic and industrial research centers. The purpose of the Symposium was to review the state of the art and to present and discuss recent progress in the understanding of the behavioral properties of polymer gels and their application to biomedical, environmental and robotic fields. Most of the papers and related discussions concentrated on the swelling behavior of hydrogels and chemomechanical systems, both artificial and naturally occurring, in which external stimuli of a physical or chemical nature control energy transformation or signal transduction. The recent great interest in chemomechanical systems based on polymer gels has stimulated considerable effort towards the development of new sensors and actuators, controllable membrane separation processes, and delivery systems in which the functions of sensing, processing and actuation are all built into the polymeric network device. Artificial chemomechanical systems, through the use of environmentally sensitive polymer gels, are emerging as interesting materials for mimicking basic processes previously only confined to the biological world, and commercially viable applications are also foreseen in the not-too-distant future. Contents are in Five Sections: Fundamentals, Biologicals, Separation, Sensors and Actuators, and Drug Delivery Systems. Section 1 deals with characterization of gel structure and studies on gelation, gel swelling and gel mechanical properties. In Section 2, the properties and excitability of nerve cytoplasm are described in two papers, while three papers are concerned with the preparation and characterization of gels purposely tailored for implantation into the human body or capable of performing catalytic or regulating functions for biotechnological or biomedical applications. There are four papers in Section 3 which address new materials and techniques for separation and ultrafiltration technology, also addressing the very important aspect of real-time control of membrane properties. Section 4 is concerned with the study of gel sensers and actuators, with particular emphasis on the development of compliant muscle-like actuators for advanced robotics and prosthetics. Drug delivery systems based on environmentally sensitive hydrogels are discussed in Section 5.
