Soft Materials for Functional Applications (EPUB)

Soft Materials for Functional Applications is a technical book covering the fundamental and applied properties of soft functional materials in both pure and engineered forms. It brings together recent developments in material synthesis, multicomponent materials engineering, device fabrication, experimental techniques, computational calculations, and state-of-the-art characterizations.

Because it examines evaluation of device performance alongside theoretical outcomes, the book gives readers a complete view of how soft materials move from research into working devices. Its chapters discuss applications in energy harvesting, soft grippers, robotics, biomimetic devices, drug delivery, surgical devices, smart packaging, and aerospace devices, including self-reporting and self-healing materials.

Written with contributions from well-known specialists in the field, including state-of-the-art review chapters, the book is intended for researchers, professionals, and policymakers exploring the scope of soft materials in future green and sustainable technologies. It is the 225th volume in the Advanced Structured Materials series.
