Synopsis

State-of-the-art techniques for tapping the vast potential of polymers

The use of specific non-covalent interactions to control polymer structure and properties is a rapidly emerging field with applications in diverse disciplines. Molecular Recognition and Polymers covers the fundamental aspects and applications of molecular recognition--in the creation of novel polymeric materials for use in drug delivery, sensors, tissue engineering, molecular imprinting, and other areas. This reference begins by explaining the fundamentals of supramolecular polymers; it progresses to cover polymer formation and self-assembly with a wide variety of examples, and then includes discussions of biomolecular recognition using polymers.

With chapters contributed by the foremost experts in their fields, this resource:

• Provides an integrated resource for supramolecular chemistry, polymer science, and interfacial science
• Covers advanced, state-of-the-art techniques used in the design and characterization of non-covalent interactions in polymers
• Illustrates how to tailor the properties of polymeric materials for various applications

Stand-alone chapters address specific applications independently for easy reference. This is a premier resource for graduate students and researchers in polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and physical organic chemistry.
