Some have predicted that the coming several decades will be the
decades of "biotechnology," wherein cancer, birth defects, life
span increases, cosmetics, biodegradation, oil spills and
exploration, solid waste disposal, and almost every aspect of our
material life will be affected by this new area of science. There
will also be an extension of emphasis on giant molecules: DNA,
enzymes, polysaccharides, lignins, proteins, hemoglobin, and many
others. Biotechnology has been defined in various ways. In one
sense, this field is older than human history and references to the
human use of biotechnology-derived materials can be found in the
oldest human writings, such as the Bible. In this book,
biotechnology refers to the direct usage of naturally occurring
materials or their uses as a feedstock, including the associated
biological activities and applications of these materials.
Bioactive polymers, on the other hand, are polymers which exert
some type of activity on living organisms. These polymers are used
in agriculture, controlled release systems, medicine and many other
areas. The papers in this book describe polymers which essentially
combine features of biotechnology and bioactivity.
