Sommario/riassunto

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, liq
