In the last years, the macromolecular chemistry and physics made
remarkable progress. From particular subject for engineers
interested in specific fields, it developed into one of the
fundamental discipline in the science. For this reason, the
essential study of the physical and chemical properties of the
polymeric materials is required, while their applications have very
fast progress, crossing the boundaries between disciplines. All of
the above is the inspiration for the set of research articles
presented in this book that report the last updates and
developments of macromolecular science and polymer engineering. The
book has been divided into three parts: synthesis, properties and
applications of the polymeric materials. Every part presents
interdisciplinary studies on the state-of-arts of each topic under
consideration through a combination of overviews and original
results. The book begins with introducing the methods in which the
macromolecular materials are synthesized. Polymer synthesis is a
complex procedure and can take place in a variety of ways. Methods
as natural photosynthesis, template, high-throughput and
ring-opening polymerization are discussed.The second part of the
book looks at new materials with unique properties as optical
non-linearity, adhesion and strength. Area of particular interest
is the tensile strength, which is important for a material that is
going to be stretched as the fibers. The last part of the book
contains researches of the new polymeric materials and their
application. In particular, some of the most promising
biodegradable polymers such as polylactide and
polyhydroxyalkonoates are discussed. Synthetic pathways, favorable
properties and utilization of these attractive polymer families are
outlined. Other interesting application of the macromolecular
materials is the drug delivery. As example of drug delivery vehicle
is shown the core cross-linked star polymers and their potential
application in cancer treatment. Smart biomaterial for tissue
engineering, protein-polymer nano-machines and different polymer
optical fibers for applications in textile fabrics are also
reported.
