Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes research based on synthetic protocols, methodologies, and applications of polymers containing side-chain molecular recognition elements. The use of molecular recognition, in lieu of covalent chemistry, potentially presents a path through the current limits of polymer science. The work described in this thesis is, at least in part, a testament to this proposal. The first two chapters presen a basic introduction of noncovalent interactions that are ubiquitous in the research of supramolecular polymers. Chapter 2 lays the foundation for the remaining chapters of this thesis by presenting several examples of prior work related specifically to the use of molecular recognition on the side-chains of polymers. The next two chapters present research focused on advancing the functionalization of polymers through molecular recognition. These chapters demonstrate that both architecturally controlled block copolymers and random terpolymers can accept a full load of different substrates without interference among distinct molecular recognition elements along the polymer backbone. Chapters 5 and 6 present a unique application of polymers containing molecular recognition elements, templated synthesis. Chapter 5 first discusses lessons learned from small molecule based templated synthesis in which a template and a substrate are held together by metal coordination and a subsequent bond forming reaction occurs. Chapter 6 discusses template polymerizations, in which a polymeric template was used, and a daughter monomer was polymerized while attached to the template. Another application of polymers containing molecular recognition elements is presented in Chapters 7 and 8. In these chapters, metal coordination is used to assemble polymer multilayer thin films that are both responsive to external stimuli, stable, and erasable. Finally, Chapter 9 summarizes the main conclusions of each chapter and presents a potential view of new projects that might result from the research presented in this thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and general model, called the "helical wormlike chain," for both flexible and semi-flexible polymer chains is presented. Statistical-mechanical, hydrodynamic, and dynamic theories of their solution properties are developed on the basis of this model. There are also given analysis of recent experimental data by the use of these theories for flexible polymers over a wide range of molecular weight, including the oligomer region, and for semi-flexible polymers, including biological macromolecules such as DNA. The book includes a reasonable number of theoretical equations, tables, figures, and computer-aided forms, enough to provide understanding of the basic theory and to facilitate its application to experimental data for the polymer molecular characterization.

Book excerpt: With sizes smaller than 100 nm, nanoparticles (NPs) have a large surface-to-volume ratio, are dispersible in solvents and able to enter any area in biological systems. These unique properties enable nanoparitcles to be used in many biomedical fields including drug delivery, gene delivery, biosensing/bioimaging and plastic antibodies. The ability to engineer NPs (e.g. size, shape, and chemical composition) provides opportunities to tackle unsolved biomedical problems. NPs introduced into biological systems, however, can also cause unintended lethal side effects. Therefore, investigation of NP-biomolecule (e.g. proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) interactions is crucial. An introduction to NP-biomolecule interactions is described in Chapter I. In Chapter II, we described a method to engineer polymer NPs to recognize a peptide epitope and its parent protein through molecular imprinting. Microemulsion polymerization and a modified peptide epitope were employed to ensure that the peptide epitope was imprinted on the surface of NPs. These NPs could recognize both the epitope and its parent protein. In Chapter III, a systematic study of NP-polysaccharide interactions was carried out. As polysaccharides are one important component on cell surface and involved in many critical biological events, investigation of NP-polysaccharide interactions can provide insights into the biological consequence of NPs administration in vivo as well as guidelines to engineer NPs for therapeutic applications. In Chapter IV, phage display and peptide array were used to screen and engineer peptides to bind to a NP. These peptides can then find applications as tags for protein purification.

Book excerpt: The progress in polymer science is revealed in the chapters of Polymer Science: A Comprehensive Reference, Ten Volume Set. In Volume 1, this is reflected in the improved understanding of the properties of polymers in solution, in bulk and in confined situations such as in thin films. Volume 2 addresses new characterization techniques, such as high resolution optical microscopy, scanning probe microscopy and other procedures for surface and interface characterization. Volume 3 presents the great progress achieved in precise synthetic polymerization techniques for vinyl monomers to control macromolecular architecture: the development of metallocene and post-metallocene catalysis for olefin polymerization, new ionic polymerization procedures, and atom transfer radical polymerization, nitroxide mediated polymerization, and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer systems as the most often used controlled/living radical polymerization methods. Volume 4 is devoted to kinetics, mechanisms and applications of ring opening polymerization of heterocyclic monomers and cycloolefins (ROMP), as well as to various less common polymerization techniques. Polycondensation and non-chain polymerizations, including dendrimer synthesis and various "click" procedures, are covered in Volume 5. Volume 6 focuses on several aspects of controlled macromolecular architectures and soft nano-objects including hybrids and bioconjugates. Many of the achievements would have not been possible without new characterization techniques like AFM that allowed direct imaging of single molecules and nano-objects with a precision available only recently. An entirely new aspect in polymer science is based on the combination of bottom-up methods such as polymer synthesis and molecularly programmed self-assembly with top-down structuring such as lithography and surface templating, as presented in Volume 7. It encompasses polymer and nanoparticle assembly in bulk and under confined conditions or influenced by an external field, including thin films, inorganic-organic hybrids, or nanofibers. Volume 8 expands these concepts focusing on applications in advanced technologies, e.g. in electronic industry and centers on combination with top down approach and functional properties like conductivity. Another type of functionality that is of rapidly increasing importance in polymer science is introduced in volume 9. It deals with various aspects of polymers in biology and medicine, including the response of living cells and tissue to the contact with biofunctional particles and surfaces. The last volume is devoted to the scope and potential provided by environmentally benign and green polymers, as well as energy-related polymers. They discuss new technologies needed for a sustainable economy in our world of limited resources. Provides broad and in-depth coverage of all aspects of polymer science from synthesis/polymerization, properties, and characterization methods and techniques to nanostructures, sustainability and energy, and biomedical uses of polymers Provides a definitive source for those entering or researching in this area by integrating the multidisciplinary aspects of the science into one unique, up-to-date reference work Electronic version has complete cross-referencing and multi-media components Volume editors are world experts in their field (including a Nobel Prize winner)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series up-to-date, supplementary volumes covering the recent literature on each individual ring system have been published. Many ring systems (such as pyridines and oxazoles) are treated in distinct books, each consisting of separate volumes or parts dealing with different individual topics. With all authors are recognized authorities, the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Chemistry is considered worldwide as the indispensable resource for organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemists.
