Yielding, Flow, and Slip in Microgel Suspensions: From Microstructure to Macroscopic Rheology / Michel Cloitre -- Mechanics of Single Microgel Particles / Hans M Wyss, Johan Mattsson, Thomas Franke, Alberto Fernandez-Nieves, David A Weitz -- Rheology of Industrially Relevant Microgels / Jason R Stokes -- Applications. Exploiting the Optical Properties of Microgels and Hydrogels as Microlenses and Photonic Crystals in Sensing Applications / L Andrew Lyon, Grant R Hendrickson, Zhiyong Meng, Ashlee N St John Iyer -- Microgels in Drug Delivery / Martin Malmsten -- Microgels for Oil Recovery / Yuxing Ben, Ian Robb, Peng Tonmukayakul, Qiang Wang -- Applications of Biopolymer Microgels / Eugene Pashkovski -- Index.
Summary: Providing a vital link between chemistry and physics on the nanoscale, this book offers concise coverage of the entire topic in five major sections, beginning with synthesis of microgel particles and continuing with their physical properties. The phase behavior and dynamics of resulting microgel suspensions feature in the third section, followed by their mechanical properties. It concludes with detailed accounts of numerous industrial, commercial and medical applications. Edited by David Weitz, Professor at Harvard and one of the world's pre-eminent experts in the field.
