Foldamers: Structure, Properties, and Applications

This truly comprehensive treatise of foldamers, ranging from synthesis to applications in bio-,material, and nanoscience, is both an introduction to the topic, while also providing in depth accounts on various aspects aimed specifically at the specialist.

The book is clearly structures, with the firs part concentrating on structure and foldamer design concepts, while the second part covers functional aspects from properties to applications. The international team of expert authors provides up-to-date overviews of this rapidly expanding and highly interdisciplinary field.

From the foreword by Francios Diederich, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich: "I strongly recommend this monograph to all academic and industrial researchers interest in fascinating perspectives for future chemical research; it will also take its place in modern graduate student education."
