Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book provides a comprehensive overview of multifunctional 3D-engineered polysaccharide materials for advanced medical, healthcare, diagnostic, and biosensing applications, showcasing their transformative potential as next-generation platforms for drug delivery, regenerative medicine, disease diagnosis, and intelligent sensing technologies. Owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, tunable structures, and versatile functionality, these materials have emerged as promising candidates for a broad range of medical, healthcare, and sensing applications. The book highlights a wide range of engineered material formats, including hydrogels, aerogels, cryogels, xerogels, scaffolds, sponges, foams, bioinks, and 3D/4D-printed systems, emphasizing their design principles, functional properties, and practical applications.

The contents are organized into three thematic parts: drug delivery applications; regenerative medicine and tissue engineering; and sensing and biosensing technologies. Contributions from leading experts provide both fundamental insights and recent advances in the field, including smart responsive materials, self-healing systems, advanced biofabrication, 3D bioprinting, wearable sensors, and diagnostic platforms.

Responding to the growing interest in 3D-engineered polysaccharide materials, this book provides a unified reference integrating recent advances in medical, healthcare, and sensing applications. It serves as a valuable and comprehensive resource for researchers, graduate students, educators, and industry professionals involved in developing sustainable materials for next-generation healthcare, biomedical, and sensing technologies.
