Polymer Macro- And Micro-Gel Beads: Fundamentals and Applications

More about the book

The book explores the history and significance of hydrocolloid beads, highlighting their increasing use across various fields. While traditional bead-making techniques and materials like Egyptian faience and precious stones have been well-documented, there is a notable lack of comprehensive resources on hydrocolloid beads. This work aims to fill that gap, detailing their properties, manufacturing methods, and diverse applications, while also connecting past practices to modern innovations. It serves as a crucial resource for understanding this unique aspect of bead art and science.
