Metal- and metalloid-containing macromolecules are defined as largemolecules (i.e., polymers, DNA, proteins) that contain a metal ormetalloid group affiliated with the molecule. The first volume inthis series consists of a number of reviews of the field, to givethe reader a background to build upon. Compiled by an all-star castof macromolecular experts, this guide:
* Provides useful descriptions of applications for the reader toapply in his/her research into materials, polymers, andmedicine/drug development.
* Covers non-linear optical materials, speciality magneticmaterials, liquid crystals, anticancer and antiviral drugs,treatment of arthritis, antibacterial drugs, antifouling materials,treatment of certain vitamin deficiencies, electrical conductorsand semiconductors, piezoelectronic materials, electrodes, UVabsorption applications, super-strength materials, speciallubricants and gaskets, selective catalytic and multisite catalyticagents.
