| Aims and Scope |
Journal
of Hydrogels (JH) is a multi-disciplinary peer-reviewed journal
aiming to integrate the fundamental and applied research activities on
the hydrogel synthesis, physical and chemical characterization,
spectroscopy, properties, formulations for applications in various areas
such as pharmaceutics, food industry, cosmetics, environmental
remediation, tissue engineering, restorative medicine, controlled drug
delivery, medical imaging, etc. During the last two decades this dynamic
field has seen an accelerated development, but the research results are
presently scattered in numerous journals. The journal intends to provide
an international forum focusing on all aspects of hydrogels, to ensure
high quality, rapid publication of original results gathered under the
same umbrella. The journal covers all aspects of basic and applied
scientific research on hydrogels at the interface between material
science, polymer science, colloid science, chemistry, physics, biology,
medicine, engineering, and nanotechnology. Broadly speaking, the journal
covers all the new developments in the field of hydrogel science and
applications of this particular type of natural and synthetic polymeric
materials in all kinds of research activity. The journal publishes
original research papers, timely review articles with author's photo and
short biography, and rapid communications on important new scientific
findings in the field of hydrogel science. The peer-reviewed proceedings
of scientific meetings, symposia and workshops related to hydrogel
science are also published.
