Hydrogels for Wound Healing provides a comprehensive review of the materials, properties, mechanism of action and application of engineered hydrogels in wound treatment. This book thoroughly covers all aspects of hydrogels in wound healing, reviewing a range of key materials and composites – including metal oxides and polymer composites – as well as their design, synthesis, and core properties. The book explores various types of wound healing hydrogels, such as 3D-printed, injectable, sprayable, tunable, and more. Toxicity, clinical and commercial aspects are detailed, providing holistic coverage for those interested in designing and applying these hydrogels in research and clinical settings.

This comprehensive resource is a complete reference for materials scientists, biomedical engineers, biomedical scientists and clinicians with an interest in novel wound healing approaches.

Sabu Thomas is a Professor and Director of the International and Interuniversity Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma Gandhi University, India. He is internationally recognized for his contributions to polymer science and engineering, with his research interests encompassing polymer nanocomposites, elastomers, polymer blends, interpenetrating polymer networks, polymer membranes, green composites, nanocomposites, nanomedicine, and green nanotechnology. His groundbreaking inventions in polymer nanocomposites, polymer blends, green bionanotechnology, and nano-biomedical sciences have significantly advanced the development of new materials for the automotive, space, housing, and biomedical fields. Dr. Bratati Das is a postdoctoral fellow at International and Interuniversity Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IIUCNN), under Prof. Sabu Thomas, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottyam, Kerala, India. She obtained her doctoral degree in Material Science in 2019 from Visva-Bharati University, India. She obtained her M.Sc. degree in Physics from West Bengal State University. In this period, she carried out a project on synthesis of gold nanoparticles as Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy active substrate. She has 5 publications in various international journals. During her Ph.D. period she received the UGC NET award from the Council of Scientific Research, India, for her research. She completed her Ph.D. in 2015. Following her Ph.D., she conducted postdoctoral research at the Centre for Advanced Materials, Qatar University, Doha-Qatar, under Prof. Mariam Ali S A Al-Maadeed, where she worked on improving the adhesion between fibers and LDPE via plasma modification. She also pursued postdoctoral research with Prof. Koichi Goda in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yamaguchi University, Japan, in collaboration with TOCLAS Corporation, Japan. She was awarded the Dr. D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship (DSKPDF) to work with Prof. Sabu Thomas at Mahatma Gandhi University.
