Providing a vital link between chemistry and physics on the nanoscale, this book offers
concise coverage of the entire topic in five major sections, beginning with synthesis of
microgel particles and continuing with their physical properties. The phase behavior and
dynamics of resulting microgel suspensions feature in the third section, followed by their
mechanical properties. It concludes with detailed accounts of numerous industrial,
commercial and medical applications. Edited by David Weitz, Professor at Harvard and one …
