Field responsive polymers, or smart polymers, will play a key role in the emergence of a wide array of new devices such as those manufactured by the aerospace, communications, and biomedical industries. The twenty-two chapters in this volume present state-of-the-art research and discuss some of the potential applications of electroresponsive, photoresponsive, and responsive polymers in chemistry and biology. Topics discussed include: microwave...

This volume provides a comprehensive review of three specialized areas: synthetic peptides, macromolecular assemblies, and higher ordering in synthetic polymers. It emphasizes the inter- and cross- disciplinary information that is necessary for the definitive characterization of higher structural order and the many possible applications of such well-defined three-dimensional macromolecules.
