Ionotropic Cross-Linking of Biopolymers 1st Edition

Capture the cutting edge of hydrogel science with Ionotropic Cross-Linking of Biopolymers, 1st Edition by Amit Kumar Nayak and Md Saquib Hasnain. This authoritative volume distills complex ionotropic gelation concepts into clear, practical guidance for researchers, formulators, and advanced students.

Explore the science behind ion-mediated cross-linking of natural polymers such as alginates, pectins, chitosan and other biopolymers. Detailed explanations of reaction mechanisms, ion exchange, network formation, and rheological behavior are paired with analytical approaches for characterizing gels, tailoring mechanical properties, and optimizing stability. The book emphasizes real-world applications across biotechnology, food science, pharmaceuticals, and tissue engineering—covering controlled drug release, wound dressings, encapsulation, and scaffold design.

Rich with experimental insights and problem-solving strategies, this edition helps you design reproducible protocols, select appropriate cross-linking ions, and scale lab results toward industrial formulations. Whether you are working in a university lab in Europe, a biotech startup in North America, or a research institute in Asia, the practical examples and data-driven recommendations make this an indispensable reference.

Clear, well-structured chapters and thoughtful illustrations make advanced topics accessible without sacrificing scientific rigor. Gain immediate value for academic research, product development, or graduate coursework.
