There is much recent interest in the field of molecular gels because of their potential use in many different applications, including biomedicine and electronic materials. Functional Molecular Gels details the latest research on molecular gels from the fundamentals of molecular gel formation to their uses in a variety of fields.
This book introduces the key concepts of designing molecular gels and their characterisation techniques, followed by chapters discussing different stimuli-responsive systems. Specific chapters are then dedicated to their diverse range of applications, including catalysis, tissue engineering, photonic materials and as templates for nanostructured materials.
Written by active researchers in the area, this book gives a taste of the possibilities that molecular gels offer for those both new to and already working in the area.

Giới thiệu về tác giả
Juan F. Miravet received his first degree in 1991 from the University of Valencia and his Ph D in 1994 from the University Jaume I. After post-doctoral work at Cornell University and University of California at Berkeley, USA, he returned to Castellón as an Assistant Professor. He was subsequently promoted to Associate Professor in 1999. Dr Miravet’s main research interests lie in the fields of supramolecular chemistry and soft matter. Specifically, he has been working on molecular gels for several years.
Beatriu Escuder graduated in Chemistry at the University of Valencia (Spain) in 1992 and obtained her Ph D at the University Jaume I, Castelló (Spain), in 1997. In 1998, she joined Prof. Nolte’s group at the University of Nijmegen (The Netherlands) as a Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow. In 2001, she was appointed as Associate Professor at the University Jaume I. Her main scientific interests include the study of supramolecular gels and their application as media for organic transformations, molecular recognition and catalysis.
