Klappentext This book comprehensively covers fundamental aspects of polymerization, emphasizing the synthesis, applications, and advances of copolymers. It focuses on monomers and reaction conditions for newly formed polymeric materials that exhibit desired properties. Providing a broad scope of up-to-date discussion, the book helps readers better understand synthetic methodology and chemistry.Chapters begin with detailed discussion on synthetic techniques and trends in controlling chain length, functionality, composition, and arrangement as well as developments in copolymerzation. The following chapters focus on topics in polymer processing, from renewable processes and materials to the application of copolymers obtained by fixing carbon dioxide. Several popular applications and tools are covered, including stimuli responsive polymers, pharmaceutical polymers, nano-patterns, self-assembly, microporous materials and polymer-drug conjugates.Overall, the book introduces experimental advances in an expanding area that can lead to further research and multidisciplinary applications. Zusammenfassung All about copolymers, this book comprehensively covers aspects of polymerization, methodology, and applications. With up-to-date discussion, the chapters cover synthetic techniques, copolymerization, and special topics, like renewable processes and sustainable development as well as newly formed polymeric materials and advances in the field.
