This compact volume is focused on an eclectic mix of biotechnological and biomedical applications of stimuli-sensitive polymeric materials. It starts with their chemical synthesis and design strategies. This is followed by discussions of their applications in microfluidics, biosensors, wound healing and anticancer therapy.

Two other interesting applications covered are the design of aptamer-based smart surfaces for biological applications and use of smart hydrogels in tissue engineering.

In general, it provides a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in design and applications of smart systems at the interfaces of biological sciences.

Munishwar Nath Gupta taught chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology at IIT Delhi (1975–2018). A PhD in Biochemistry from IISc Bangalore was followed up by post-docs at University of Minnesota, USA; MIT, USA; UTC, France; and Lund University, Sweden. He is a fellow of both the National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad and INSA, New Delhi. He is currently Series Editor of Foundations and Frontiers in Enzymology (Elsevier). He has published over 300 scientific articles and his current h-index is 63.
