Metal- and Metalloid-Containing Macromolecules
The past two decades have seen tremendous developments in the field of metal- and metalloid-containing macromolecules. The design of new monomers containing metal and metalloid elements and their subsequent polymerization has resulted in a vast array of inorganic and organometallic polymers with interesting properties and applications. This volume features 30 articles based on presentations given in the Metal- and Metalloid-Containing Macromulecules Symposium at the 39th IUPAC Congress and 86th Conference of the Canadian Society for Chemistry in Ottawa from August 10-15, 2003. The articles, written by some of the leading researchers in the field, describe the synthesis, properties and applications of inorganic and organometallic polymers and the current focuses of research in these fields. The purpose of this symposium was to generate dialogue between these researchers and to allow them to present some of their most recent findings.
Scanning Force Microscopy of Polymers
Scope of the Book Synthetic and natural polymers exhibit a complex structural and morphological hierarchy on multiple length scales [1], which determines their performance. Thus, research aiming at visualizing structure and morphology using a multitude of microscopy techniques has received considerable attention since the early days of polymer science and technology. Various well-developed techniques such as optical microscopy and different forms of electron microscopy (Scanning Electron Micr- copy, SEM; Transmission Electron Microscopy, TEM; Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy, ESEM) allow one to view polymeric structure at different levels of magni?cation. These classical techniques...
Tribo-Behaviors of Biomaterials and their Applications
Tribo-Behaviors of Biomaterials and Their Applications enables the reader to make an informed choice in the selection of biomaterials that aid the creation of safe and long-lasting surgical devices. Looking at metals, ceramics, and polymers with craniofacial, cardiovascular, spinal, dentistry, and orthopedic applications, this book is an essential guide to tribology in biomaterials. Handling wear within biodevices is a pressing issue due to the continuous friction and corrosion within the body. It is further complicated by the involvement of body fluids, which can lead to revision surgery to relieve pain. In order to lessen this, engineers can choose a biomaterial better suited to the applic...

Scanning Probe Microscopies Beyond Imaging
This first book to focus on the use of SPMs to actively manipulate molecules and nanostructures on surfaces goes way beyond conventional treatments of scanning microscopy merely for imaging purposes. It reviews recent progress in the use of SPMs on such soft materials as polymers, with a particular emphasis on chemical discrimination, mechanical properties, tip-induced reactions and manipulations, as well as their nanoscale electrical properties. Detailing the practical application potential of this hot topic, this book is of great interest to specialists of wide-ranging disciplines, including physicists, chemists, materials scientists, spectroscopy experts, surface scientists, and engineers.
Chemoresponsive Materials
Smart materials stimulated by chemical or biological signals are of interest for their many applications including drug delivery, as well as in new sensors and actuators for environmental monitoring, process and food control, and medicine. In contrast to other books on responsive materials, this volume concentrates on materials which are stimulated by chemical or biological signals. Chemoresponsive Materials introduces the area with chapters covering different responsive material systems including hydrogels, organogels, membranes, thin layers, polymer brushes, chemomechanical and imprinted polymers, nanomaterials, silica particles, as well as carbohydrate- and bio-based systems. Many promising applications are highlighted, with an emphasis on drug delivery, sensors and actuators. With contributions from internationally known experts, the book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in academia, healthcare and industry interested in functional materials and their applications.
