Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS), synthesized in a laboratory for the first time in 1985, has become commercialized in a very short time, with wide acceptance on the global plastics market.
This first book on this important and emerging topic presents an overview of the very latest results obtained in single-chain polymer nanoparticles obtained by folding synthetic single polymer chains, painting a complete picture from ...
This book summarizes the main new ideas that have come up in the last ten years. In this book, the efforts of theoreticians are substantially supported by the experimental results stemming from new and exciting techniques.
The finest history of the subject describes early concepts of molecular structure; molecular weight; colloids; addition polymerization; natural polymers; beginning of polymer-based industries; the work of Staudinger, Mark, Carothers, and ...
Metallopolymers is an exciting and promising area of research and this book focuses on the strategy of incorporating transition metals into macromolecules to design functional materials for addressing such problems.
This volume provides a comprehensive review of three specialized areas: synthetic peptides, macromolecular assemblies, and higher ordering in synthetic polymers.
