Supramolecular Polymer Chemistry

Supramolecular chemistry deals with some of the hottest current scientific advances within the field and polymer chemistry is now a multi-billion euro industry. Thus, enabling novel advances in polymer chemistry by taking innovative ideas from supramolecular chemistry is thus of profound interest.
Presenting the work of pioneering experts in the resulting exciting field of supramolecular polymer chemistry, this monograph covers an extensive range of applications, including drug delivery and catalysis. It focuses on new structures and phenomena of cyclodextrin-based supramolecular polymers and many other compound classes.
The contents are clearly divided into three parts that deal in turn with the formation of supramolecular polymers, supramolecular polymers with unique structures, and, lastly, their properties and functions.
While providing a deeper insight in macromolecular recognition and the mechanisms of living systems, this book also introduces breathtaking new phenomena beyond natural systems, making it fascinating reading for organic, polymer, catalytic, medicinal and biochemists, as well as for materials scientists.
