Reihe: Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-like Elements

Metal and metalloid-containing compounds exhibit a wide range ofbiological and biocidal activities, some of which have beenemployed in medicines and drugs. Polymers containing metal ormetalloid functions become a natural extension of this effort; justas organic compound drugs have been chemically bound to polymers orphysically imbibed into polymer matrices in order to provide avariety of useful advantages, the same opportunities exist forusing metal and metalloid species. This volume will cover importantbiomedical applications of organometallic compounds, includingmetal-labeled DNA on surfaces, artificial metallo-DNA, organotinmolecules as anti-cancer drugs, and much more.
* Provides useful descriptions of biomedical applications for thereader to apply in his/her research into materials, polymers, andmedicine/drug development.
* Edited by high-quality team of macromolecular experts from aroundthe world
