It shows insight into the field by highlighting how sticky (non-covalent) chemical bonds can assemble a seemingly water-like liquid into a gel, how ionic liquids influence the gelation behavior of poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) as well as how the molecular composition of functional copolymers is reflected in the temperature-responsiveness. These physics were augmented by theoretical works on drag-reduction. Also, drug-release – an improved control of how fast or dependent on an external factor – and antibacterial properties were the topic of several works. Biomedical applications on how cell growth can be influenced and how vessels in biological systems, e.g., blood vessels, can be improved by functional polymers were complemented with papers on tomography by using gels. On totally different lines, also the topic of how asphalt can be improved and how functional polymers can be used for the enrichment and removal of substances. These different papers are a good representation of the whole area of functional polymers.Functional Polymer Solutions and Gels–Physics and Novel Applications Functional Polymer Solutions and Gels–Physics and Novel Applications Research & information: generalbicsscPoly(N-isopropylacrylamide)tacticityionic liquidrheologyhydrogelvascular graftbraided fiber strutswellabilitymechanical propertyN-isopropylacrylamidelower critical solution temperaturethermoresponsive polymershydrophobic interactionsstatistical modelingSBS-modified asphalt binderUV agingrheological propertiesfunctional groupcrackingosteoporosisstrontiumpolyphenol tannic acidtitaniumosteoblastsosteoclastshydrophilic molecularly imprinted chitosandeep eutectic solventssolid phase microextractiongallic acidresponse surface methodologycoatingdrug deliverysurface roughnesspolymersmesoporous silicapolypropylenenonwoven fibersplasmaimprinted polymerchromiumcarbon-fibersmultifunctional compositesnanocompositesfracture toughnessassociative polymer colloidsmicellar assembliesReynolds stress modelpolymerturbulent modeldrag reductionDNSresponsive gels in biomedical and diagnostic applicationsgelprecisionradiation therapydosimetry3Dflattening filter freeFFFoxygen scavengerdose ratemagnetic resonancefluorescent gelsradio-fluorogenic (RFG) geltomographic fluorescence imagingpolymer-gel radiation dosimetry3D radiation dosimetrymicroscopic characteristicpoly (styrene-butadiene-styrene)-modified asphaltmodified clampsadhesionResearch & information: generalStadler Florian Jedt1313397Du BingedtStadler Florian JothDu BingothBOOK9910557593903321Functional Polymer Solutions and Gels-Physics and Novel Applications3645504UNINA
