Functional Polymers by Post-Polymerization Modification: Concepts, Guidelines, and Applications

Description

Wiley, 2013. — 430 p. Filling the gap for a book dealing with synthetic strategies and recent developments, this volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field of post-polymerization modification. As such, the international team of expert authors covers a wide range of topics, including new synthetic techniques utilizing different reactive groups for post-polymerization modifications of synthetic polymers, as well as modification of biomimetic and biological polymers. Furthermore, industrial applications of polymers that are synthesized by post-polymerization techniques are included. With its guidelines this is an indispensable reference for the daily lab work of polymer chemists in both academia and industry researching the field of polymer synthesis.Contents List of Abbreviations List of Contributors History of Post-polymerization Modification Post-polymerization Modifications via Active Esters Thiol–ene Based Functionalization of Polymers Thiol–yne Chemistry in Polymer and Materials Science Design and Synthesis of Maleimide Group Containing Polymeric Materials via the Diels-lder/Retro Diels-Alder Strategy The Synthesis of End-Functional Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymers Functional Polymers with Controlled Microstructure Based on Styrene and N-Substituted Maleimides Temperature-Triggered Functionalization of Polymers New Functional Polymers Using Host–Guest Chemistry Glycopolymers via Post-polymerization Modification Techniques Design of Polyvalent Polymer Therapeutics Posttranslational Modification of Proteins Incorporating Nonnatural Amino Acids Functionalization of Porous Polymers from High-Internal-Phase Emulsions and Their Applications Post-polymerization Modification of Polymer Brushes Covalent Layer-by-Layer Assembly Using Reactive Polymers Index
