One Line Description
The book provides a broad overview of the synthesis procedures for these smart functional synthetic polymers and the materials used therein.

Audience
This text is of importance for students of polymer chemistry as well as chemists and other scientists that are interested in these topics. Beyond education, this book serves the needs of chemical engineers in industry as well as other specialists in electronics, medicine and the pharmaceutical sciences.

Description
The scientific literature with respect to functional synthetic polymers is collected in this monograph. The text focuses on the basic issues as well as the literature of the past decade. In addition to basic issues concerning functionalized polymers, particular emphasis is given to the principles of functionalization, basic functional groups, and surface functionalization. Also, fields of special application, such as electrical applications, water cleaning methods, and medical and pharmaceutical applications, are reviewed.
Among the special issues addressed in the text are: Surface functionalization supramolecular polymers, shape-memory polymers, foldable polymers, functionalized biopolymers, supercapacitors, photovoltaics, lithography, cleaning methods, such as recovery of gold ions olefin/paraffin, separation by polymeric membranes, ultrafiltration membranes, and other related topics.
