This reference text provides a broad overview of biopolymer networks written for an interdisciplinary audience of cellular and molecular biologists, soft matter and polymer physicists, materials scientists, and chemical engineers. It opens with an introduction to biopolymers and their networks, followed by an overview of important polymer physics theories and concepts, experimental tools to measure network properties, and computational analysis techniques to characterize and interpret data. The book follows with a description of model biopolymer networks-from design to rheology-before embarking on a discussion of novel network designs and their emergent physical properties, including topologically-novel polymers, composites, active matter, and liquid-liquid phase separation. It closes with a community-led perspective on key open questions and grand challenges, and how we may come together to advance understanding of biopolymer networks and their utility in diverse applications.
