The vast array of libraries in the world bear mute witness to the
truth of the 3000-year-old observation of King Solomon who stated "
... of making many books there is no end, and much study is a
weariness of the flesh." Yet books are an essential written record
of our lives and the progress of science and humanity. Here is
another book to add to this huge collection, but, hopefully, not
just another collection of pages, but rather a book with a specific
purpose to aid in alleviating the "weariness of the flesh" that
could arise from much studying of other journals and books in order
to obtain the basic information contained herein. This book is
about polymeric materials and biological activity, as the title
notes. Polymeric materials, in the broad view taken here, would
include not only synthetic polymers (e.g., polyethylene, polyvinyl
chloride, polyesters, polyamides, etc.), but also the natural
macromolecules (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides)
which compose natural tissues in humans, animals and plants. In the
broad sense used here, biological activity is any type of such
action whether it be in medication, pest control, plant-growth regu
lation, and so on. In short, this book attempts to consider,
briefly, the use of any type of polymeric material system with
essentially any kind of biological activity."
