This book describes techniques of synthesis and self–assembly of macromolecules for developing new materials and improving functionality of existing ones. Because self–assembly emulates how nature creates complex systems, they likely have the best chance at succeeding in real–world biomedical applications. Employs synthetic chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science principles and techniques Emphasizes self–assembly in solutions (particularly, aqueous solutions) and at solid–liquid interfaces Describes polymer assembly driven by multitude interactions, including solvophobic, electrostatic, and obligatory co–assembly Illustrates assembly of bio–hybrid macromolecules and applications in biomedical engineering INDICE: List of Contributors ix .Preface xiii .1 A Supramolecular Approach to Macromolecular Self–Assembly: Cyclodextrin Host/Guest Complexes 1Bernhard V.
