Micro and Nano Gels

Micro and Nano Gels: Synthesis, Characterization, Modelling, and Applications, 2 Volumes, 1st Edition presents a comprehensive reference on the synthesis techniques, physicochemical properties, and structural assemblies of micro and nano gels. Designed for chemists and materials scientists, this reference work collects essential knowledge across soft matter chemistry and materials design.

The text reviews both template-free and template-based synthetic approaches for microgels and nanogels. It explains fundamental reaction mechanisms, selection of chemical building blocks, and practical trade-offs among available synthetic routes. Additional chapters evaluate developments in amphiphilic random copolymer micelles within aqueous environments, highlighting molecular design principles, controlled self-assembly processes, dynamic self-sorting, and functional material creation.

Beyond synthetic methodology, the work details practical applications across diverse technological fields. It details the functional roles of micro and nano gels when deployed as adhesives, sensing agents, drug delivery vehicles, tissue scaffolds, optical devices, separation devices, catalytic reactors, or environmental remediation agents. This reference equips researchers with actionable data for designing targeted soft matter systems.
