The first title within the RSC Polymer Chemistry Series is now published. Edited by Peter A Williams, Renewable Resources for Functional Polymers and Biomaterials covers the source, production, structures and properties of some of the most important biomacromolecules with applications in the fields of biotechnology and medicine. The importance of renewable based materials has lead to a renaissance in the chemistry of biomacromolecules and the new book features polysaccharides obtained from botanical, algal, animal and microbial sources; microbial polyesters; the glycoproteins fibronectin and laminin as well as an introduction to nucleic acid polymers and genetic engineering.
