Reactive & Functional Polymers Research Advances
This book presents research from around the world on inorganic and organic functional polymers, both solid and liquid, acting as reagents, catalysts, carriers of protecting groups, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating agents, supports for enzymes and cells, and the like. It also includes reactive crosslinkable prepolymers, degradable polymers, polymer resists, conducting polymers, and film-forming polymers. Contributions may deal with synthesis of such polymers or with their applications in organic synthesis, catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations, recovery, lithography, microelectronics, information storage, energy conversion, diagnostics, coating and encapsulation, and adhesion.
