Zusatztext "a key work of reference...all serious scientific libraries should acquire a copy." (Reactive & Functional Polymers) Informationen zum Autor Professor Jean M.J. Fréchet , American chemist, is a Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. Donald A. Tomalia is the editor of Dendrimers and Other Dendritic Polymers, published by Wiley. Klappentext Dendrimere (dendritische Polymere) sind Makromoleküle, deren Struktur durch kontrollierte, radial von innen nach außen weisende Verzweigungen gekennzeichnet ist. Dieses spannende, sich rasch entwickelnde Gebiet der Polymerwissenschaft wird hier vorgestellt: Informationen aus erster Hand, von einem der Entdecker der Dendrimere! Der Leser erhält einen umfassenden Einblick in die Eigenschaften, Synthesewege und kommerziellen Verwendungen (u.a. als Vehikel für Wirkstoffe, Bausteine für Nanomaterialien, Spezialbeschichtungen, Klebstoffe und in der Katalyse) der Spezies. Zusammenfassung With contributions from many of the worlda s leading scientists in the field of dendritic research and development, Dendrimers and Other Dendritic Polymers provides a comprehensive review of this rapidly expanding and exciting new field of polymer science.
