Advanced Smart Hydrogel Modeling

By Hua Li

Advanced Smart Hydrogel Modeling provides structured computational models alongside experimental validation for predicting hydrogel performance under complex biochemical and physical stimuli. Guidance on using these models in specific biomedical and engineering applications is also covered, as are the latest developments in the area of hydrogels. Stimuli discussed include magnetic field, pressure coupled with temperature, pH coupled with magnetic field, salt concentration, light, glucose or carbohydrate concentration, urea concentration, and pH coupled with oxygen concentration. The book also includes a chapter discussing the plant mimosa pudica as a smart natural plant system, focusing on two-dimensional biochemical-electrical-mechanical transient models to capture its rapid collapse and slow recovery movements, providing a bridge from smart artificial synthesis materials to smart natural materials.
