Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Michael J. Serpe received his B.S. from the University of Central Florida in 2000, his Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2004 and completed his postdoctoral studies at Duke University in 2009. In the same year he joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alberta as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2014 and Full Professor in 2018. His group's research program is focused on developing new technologies to solve problems associated with health and the environment using fundamental and applied polymer, colloid (nano and microparticles), surface, and materials chemistry.
 
Liang Hu is an Associate Professor at Soochow University, China. He received his B.S. (2006), M.S. (2009) and Ph.D. (2013) degree in Polymer Science and Technology from Wuhan University of Technology, China. He was a visiting student under the supervision of Michael J. Serpe at University of Alberta, Canada (2011-2013). After that, he worked with Prof. Lei Jiang and Prof. Jian Jin as a postdoctoral fellow at Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China (2013-2015). In 2015, he joined Soochow University. His current work involves the application of polymer-based hydrogels for dosimeters and cancer therapy.
 
Yongfeng Gao graduated in Chemistry from Tsinghua University (China). He was awarded his PhD from the University of Alberta in 2017 with a thesis on stimuli-responsive polymers under the supervision of Prof. Michael J. Serpe. In 2019, he joined Prof. Hongbo Zeng?s research group in Chemical and Materials Engineering department at University of Alberta as a postdoctoral fellow. His current research focuses on polymeric materials synthesis and their application in breast cancer treatment.

Discover the most important developments in synthesis, simulation, and applications of a fascinating compound class

There exist a range of natural materials that respond to environmental changes by altering their physical or chemical properties, known as stimuli-responsive polymers, these substances are responsive to light, temperature, pressure, and more. The study of these so-called “smart” polymers is essential to a range of application fields, many of which have generated cutting-edge research in recent decades. A comprehensive introduction to the subject is therefore well-timed

Smart Stimuli-Responsive Polymers, Films, and Gels provides an introduction to these polymers and their applications. It includes producing these polymers through synthetic approaches, simulating their responses to different stimuli, and applying these materials in different industries and research capacities. Written to serve the requirements of advanced students and senior researchers alike, this timely work will drive years of research in this vital field.

In Smart Stimuli-Responsive Polymers, Films, and Gels readers will also find:

• Treatment of mechanoresponsive, photoresponsive, and ionizing-radiation responsive polymers
• Applications in emerging fields such as sensors, biomedicine, catalysis, and more
• Interdisciplinary research into the properties and responses of these vital compounds

Smart Stimuli-Responsive Polymers, Films, and Gels promises to become a seminal work for chemists, materials scientists, and industrial researchers seeking to incorporate these materials into a variety of industrial and research areas.
