The superabsorbency and permeability of naturally occurring and synthetic hydrogels give this class of materials an amazing array of uses. These uses range from wound dressings and skin grafts to oxygen-permeable contact lenses to biodegradable delivery systems for drugs or pesticides and scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. \u003ci\u003eBiomedical Applications of Hydrogels Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive description of this diverse class of materials, covering both synthesis and properties and a broad range of research and commercial applications. The Handbook is divided into four sections: Stimuli-Sensitive Hydrogels, Hydrogels for Drug Delivery, Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering, and Hydrogels with Unique Properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides comprehensive coverage of the basic science and applications of a diverse class of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes both naturally occurring and synthetic hydrogels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited and written by worldwide leaders in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEditorial Advisory Board: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas A.
