Stimuli-Responsive Polymeric Films and Coatings.0841239320Stimuli-responsive polymeric films and coatings. Ed. by Marek W. Urban. American Chemical Society The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a learned society (professional association) based in the United States that supports scientific inquiry in the field of chemistry. Founded in 1876 at New York University, the ACS currently has over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in 2005 254 pages $139.50 Hardcover ACS symposium series; 912 QD382 This collection of 13 papers from the symposium given at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in March and April 2004 describes contributors' work in the diverse field of polymeric materials, particularly films, and especially their research on stratification processes, which are essential to understand in cognitive-driven molecular entities. The papers include an introduction to stimuli-responsive macromolecules Macromolecules A large molecule composed of thousands of atoms. Mentioned in: Gene Therapy macromolecules and polymeric coatings and also cover synthetic aspects of stimuli-responsive polymers, including controlling chain topology, synthesizing terminally functionalized (co)polymers, synthesizing and applying polyelectrolyte pol·y·e·lec·tro·lyte n. An electrolyte, such as a protein or polysaccharide, having a high molecular weight. brushes and polymer grafted layers, and tailoring thin polymer films chemisorbed into conducted surfaces by electrografting). Papers on physico-chemical aspects of stimuli- responsive polymers include such topics as temperature-responsive films at the air-water interface, stimuli-responsive behaviors, florescent flo·res·cence n. A condition, time, or period of flowering. See Synonyms at bloom1.
