It shows the interconnections between the key aspects of gels, from molecules and structure through to rheological and functional properties, with each chapter focusing on a different class of gel. There is also a final chapter covering innovative systems and applications, providing the information needed to understand current and future practical applications of gels in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, cosmetic, chemical and food industries. Many research teams are involved in the field of gels, including theoreticians, experimentalists and chemical engineers, but this interdisciplinary book collates and rationalises the many different points of view to provide a clear understanding of these complex systems for researchers and graduate students. 517 3 $aPhysical Gels from Biological & Synthetic Polymers 606 $aPolymer colloids 615 0$aPolymer colloids. 676 $a541/.345 700 $aDjabourov$b Madeleine$f1949-$01599065 702 $aNishinari$b Katsuyoshi 702 $aRoss-Murphy$b S.
