Hyperbranched Polymers
Macromolecules in between Deterministic Linear Chains and
Dendrimer Structures
Authors: Albena Lederer and Walther BurchardEditor
This is the first book to examine in detail the recent advances in the structural characterization
of hyperbranched polymers. Due to the commercial interest in hyperbranched polymers
and the difficulty in characterization there is a great need to understand how to control their
synthesis to obtain certain material properties. Focusing on the on the structural characterization
of hyperbranched polymers, the book summarizes the research in the field and makes a
direct correlation between the chemical structure and global molecular properties. Written by
acknowledged experts in the field, the book will appeal to both scientists working in fundamental
research, both active and new to the field, as well as industrial manufacturers of polymer
formulations, additives and coatings, polymer electronics and pharmaceuticals.

Nanoceramics in Clinical Use
From Materials to Applications, 2nd Edition
Authors: María Vallet-Regi and Daniel A Arcos NavarreteEditor
Since the publication of Biomimetic Nanoceramics in Clinical Use, there have been major
advances in the field of nanoceramics for biomedical applications including new materials and
the development of applications in drug delivery and gene therapy. This follow up edition is
fully revised and updated with the recent progress and includes additional material on bone
mineralization processes, new synthesis strategies and applications of nanostructured biocermics
to manufacture 3D macroporous scaffolds and as nanovehicles for targeted drug delivery and
gene therapies. Written by a world leading expert in biomaterials, the book will appeal to those
interested in materials for biomedical applications.

Polymer Photovoltaics
Materials, Physics, and Device Engineering
Editors: Fei Huang, Hin-Lap Yip and Yong Cao
Polymer solar cells have gained much attention as they offer a potentially economic and viable
way of commercially manufacturing lightweight, flexible and low-cost photovoltaics. Written by
active researchers, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in
polymer solar cell technology for both researchers and students that are interested in this field.
The book covers several important topics that govern the photovoltaic property of polymer solar
cells including 1) the chemistry and the design of new light harvesting and interfacial materials
and their structure-property relationship; 2) the physics for photocurrent generation in the
polymer solar cells; 3) new characterization tools to study morphology effect on the property of
donor/acceptor bulk heterojunctions; 4) new device concepts such as tandem cells and semitransparent cells and 5) advanced roll-to-roll processes for large-scale manufacturing of polymer
solar cells.

Bio-Synthetic Hybrid Materials and Bionanoparticles
A Biological Chemical Approach Towards Material Science
Editors: Alexander Boker and Patrick van Rijn
The book recognises the interdisciplinary work within bionanoparticles and approaches the
subject by covering the basics of disciplines involved as well as recent advances and possibilities.
The book describes chronologically the formation of new bionanoparticles from the synthetic
organic-, inorganic- and biotechnological point of view followed by a discussion of the materials
applications. Edited by leading scientists in bionanoparticles, the book is collaboration between
scientists with different backgrounds and perspectives which will initiate the next generation of
bio-based structures, materials and devices.
