Macromolecular Self-Assembly

Know about the book -

Macromolecular Self-Assembly is written by Laurent Billon and published by John Wiley & Sons. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1118887972 (ISBN 10) and 9781118887974 (ISBN 13).

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
