Supramolecular chemistry is the outburst topic of the next generation of science. While the majority of biomedical research efforts to date have centered on utilizing well-known polymeric materials, the recent progress in supramolecular chemistry has introduced a fascinating new field of macromolecular architecture.
Supramolecular Design for Biological Applications focuses on modulating, altering, and mimicking biological functions with a new family of molecular assemblies. The authors provide innovative ideas and concepts for developing novel biomaterials that could be applied in...

The design of environment-sensitive systems with biomedical and pharmaceutical applications has improved significantly due to recent advances in smart polymer and hydrogel technology. Reflexive Polymers and Hydrogels: Understanding and Designing Fast-Responsive Polymeric Systems examines several natural systems that respond rapidly to environmental stimuli, providing the reader with an understanding of mechanisms that govern these responses. It also considers limitations of reflexive systems, by investigating model systems where selected interactions of specific components are evaluated to...
