New York: Springer. — 2008. — 463 p.Polymeric materials of the 21st century often contain atoms that are not present in traditional polymers. Polymers containing nontraditional atoms are now of interest because of their unique properties. This book demonstrates the breadth of these properties and some of the specialized analytical techniques that have been developed to characterize them. In the book emphasize the emerging special properties of materials dealing with the transmission of light for the purpose of communication, as well as other efforts. Later chapters deal with the use of materials in treating a variety of disease-causing microbes-including viruses responsible for pandemic herpes and the common cold, cancers, and bacterial infections. The interaction of these materials for future biological investigations is investigated hear. Book provides a comprehensive review of the application of Mossbauer spectroscopy to metal-containing polymers and reviews the application of a new mass spectrometry technique. The use of metal-containing polymers as catalysts is described in the book. Their use as precursors for advanced ceramics, high temperature materials, and flame retard-ants is also discussed. The unusual property of selected materials to spontaneously form fibers is described hear. This book includes a cross-section of novel polymeric materials containing nontraditional atoms and emphasizes current chemical, biological, engineering, ceramic, and optical areas of application. It is intended for those interested in the general areas of biomedicine, catalysis, electronics and light, thermal stability, and analysis of materials. The polymers reported in this volume represent early research but are inidicative of future application.Synthetic Versatility and Structural Modularity in Organometallic Polymers
