Produktbeschreibung

Supramolecular chemistry is in a state of expansion. While the majority of biomedical research efforts to date has centered on utilizing well-known polymeric materials to a certain purpose. New synthetic methods based on supramolecular chemistry have been developed to create branched or graft, cyclical, crosslinked, star, and dendritic shapes. Supramolecular Design for Biological Applications focuses on modulating, altering, and mimicking biological functions with a new family of molecular assemblies. The authors provide innovative ideas and concepts for developing novel biomaterials that could be applied in operations such as diagnosis, drug carrier, and environmental protection.
