Macromolecular Self-Assembly

This Book Describes Techniques Of Synthesis And Self-assembly Of Macromolecules For Developing New Materials And Improving Functionality Of Existing Ones. Because Self-assembly Emulates How Nature Creates Complex Systems, They Likely Have The Best Chance At Succeeding In Real-world Biomedical Applications.- Employs Synthetic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, And Materials Science Principles And Techniques- Emphasizes Self-assembly In Solutions (particularly, Aqueous Solutions) And At Solid-liquid Interfaces- Describes Polymer Assembly Driven By Multitude Interactions, Including Solvophobic, Electrostatic, And Obligatory Co-assembly- Illustrates Assembly Of Bio-hybrid Macromolecules And Applications In Biomedical Engineering.
