Macromolecular complexes in chemistry and biology

The current book describes the chemical and physical behavior of polymers and biopolymers that form highly associating structures in equilibrium solution. It summons the established results known of polymer complexes in solution taking into account also the recent developments in biotechnology concerning this topic, in technological applications of polymerprotein interactions, in fluorescence and scattering techniques for the study of intra- and interpolymer association and in the study of ionomers in solution. The book covers the whole range from synthesis and fundamental aspects to applications and technology of associated polymers and will thus be the valuable source to all polymer chemists, colloid chemists, biotechnologists, bioengineers and chemical engineers working in this field.
