Jean-Francois Lutz - Sequence-Controlled Polymers

Edited by a leading authority in the field, the first book on this important and emerging topic provides an overview of the latest trends in sequence-controlled polymers. Following a brief introduction, the book goes on to discuss various synthetic approaches to sequence-controlled and biological polymers, including genetic polymers, peptide polymers and biohybrids, as well as single-chain nanoparticles. Moreover, different polymerization techniques, such as anionic and cationic as well as radical chain growth mechanism, are explained, before concluding with a look at the future for sequence-controlled polymers. With its unique coverage of this interdisciplinary field, the text will prove invaluable to polymer and environmental chemists, as well as biochemists and bioengineers.
