This book gives an extensive description of the synthesis, characterization, and self-assembly of recently-developed advanced architectural materials with a number of potential applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe architectural polymers, including bio-conjugated hybrid polymers with poly(amino acid)s and gluco-polymers, star-branched and dendrimer-like hyperbranched polymers, cyclic polymers, dendrigraft polymers, rod-coil and helix-coil block copolymers, are introduced chapter by chapter in the book. In particular, the book also emphasizes the topic of synthetic breakthroughs by living\/controlled polymerization since 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurthermore, renowned authors contribute on special topics such as helical polyisocyanates, metallopolymers, stereospecific polymers, hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers, conjugated polymers, and polyrotaxanes, which have attracted considerable interest as novel polymer materials with potential future applications. In addition, recent advances in reactive blending achieved with well-defined end-functionalized polymers are discussed from an industrial point of view. Topics on polymer-based nanotechnologies, including self-assembled architectures and suprastructures, nano-structured materials and devices, nanofabrication, surface nanostructures, and their AFM imaging analysis of hetero-phased polymers are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides comprehensive coverage of recently developed advanced architectural materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers hot new areas such as: click chemistry; chain walking; polyhomologation; ADMET\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEdited by highly regarded scientists in the field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains contributions from 26 leading experts from Europe, North America, and Asia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearchers in academia and industry specializing in polymer chemistry will find this book to be an ideal survey of the most recent advances in the area.
