Reviews / Votes
"...the contributions have a uniform style and fit together very well. The diligence of the editor is obvious. ...all the chapters have very balanced references, citing the important historic contributions to polymer chemistry and networks, and are written in a tutorial style ...an excellent introduction to new students seeking to make a career in biomaterials and bioartificial organs, while updating the expert."- David Hunkeler, AQUA+TECH Specialties, Switzerland, in Polymer News
" ... it represents a timely subject, supramolecular assemblies are an exploding area of research with many functional applications. The chapters cover a broad spectrum of topics and include well-respected researchers. I feel that this book would be an excellent addition to the supramolecular literature and a valued resource."
- Allison A. Campbell, Ph.D., Deputy Director, WR Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, Richland, Washington, USA
