Supramolecular Polymers/Polymeric Betains/Oligomers: 201 (Advances in Polymer Science) - Softcover

From the reviews:

"The Advances in Polymer Science series remains an important venue for reviewing the latest and most interesting topics related to the field of polymers. This current volume is no exception. Although supramolecular chemistry, hybrid polymers, and polyelectrolytes have been popular topics in chemistry and materials research, this volume focuses on four main subtopics: cyclodextrin-based supramolecular polymers, liquid crystalline dendrimers and polypedes, polymeric betaines, and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes. These topics have been the subject of other shorter review articles, of course, but they have been given a much more detailed treatment in this book... Overall, this book strives to give a comprehensive and timely review of these four major topics in the field of polymer chemistry and materials. Some of the chapters are truly outstanding. The references are timely, but because these are rapidly developing fields, another review will be needed in a few years." (Rigoberto C.
