Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-Like Elements, Volume 1 [PDF ebook] 
A Half-Century of Metal- and Metalloid-Containing Polymers

Metal- and metalloid-containing macromolecules are defined as large
molecules (i.e., polymers, DNA, proteins) that contain a metal or
metalloid group affiliated with the molecule. The first volume in
this series consists of a number of reviews of the field, to give
the reader a background to build upon. Compiled by an all-star cast
of macromolecular experts, this guide:

* Provides useful descriptions of applications for the reader to
apply in his/her research into materials, polymers, and
medicine/drug development.

* Covers non-linear optical materials, speciality magnetic
materials, liquid crystals, anticancer and antiviral drugs,
treatment of arthritis, antibacterial drugs, antifouling materials,
treatment of certain vitamin deficiencies, electrical conductors
and semiconductors, piezoelectronic materials, electrodes, UV
absorption applications, super-strength materials, special
lubricants and gaskets, selective catalytic and multisite catalytic
agents.
