The Convergent Route to Globular Dendritic Macro molecules A Versatile Approach to Precisely Functionalized Three-Dimensional Polymers and Novel Block Copolymers [J. M. J. Frdchet, C. J. Hawker, K. L. Wooley, J. M. S.-Pure Appl. Chem. 1994, A31, 1627],...

Three contributions from the groups of G. Roewer, H. Griitzmacher, and R. Nesper cover the formation of various novel BCCSi-substituted borazines and synthetic approaches to the functionalization of silicon-based non-oxidic ceramics, and papers from W. Mitzel, U. Klingebiel, H. Karsch, M. Driess, and A. Bauer deal with the chemistry of aminosilanes and a possible transfer into application, e.g., the formation of Si-N-containing polymers and ceramics.

An approach to noncovalent functionalization takes advantage of attractive van der Waals forces to coat the outer surface of a nanotube with a substance that bears the functionality. This approach was successfully demonstrated using a synthetic polymer designed to mimic the properties of mucin. (Mucin is the main substance responsible for the lubricating properties of... 

Surface imprinting of latex particles is an approach to use functional groups present on the surface of a polymer and fix their conformation by a surface modification with another polymer [84,85]. An attempt had been made to reduce the nonspecific binding by applying a hydrophilic coating after the MIP preparation [86].

The extension of these mechanisms to DA reagents bearing multiple functionalities opens the way to various original approaches to polymer syntheses as discussed below. 

An approach to monomer functionalization far from the coupling sites is the use of terthiophenes substituted at the 3 position of the inner thiophene ring (27) [179], Groups like thiophene, phenyl, pyridine and their substitutes were introduced, although the properties of the polymers were not particularly improved due to the accompanying decoplanarization of adjacent rings. 

Finally, we mention an interesting recent study by Chandler that extended the Gaussian field-theoretic model of Li and Kardar to treat atomic and polymeric fluids. Remarkably, the atomic PY and MSA theories were derived from a Gaussian field-theoretic formalism without explicit use of the Ornstein-Zernike relation or direct correlation function concept. In addition, based on an additional preaveraging approximation, analytic PRISM theory was recovered for hard-core thread chain model fluids. Nonperturbative applications of this field-theoretic approach to polymer liquids where the chains have nonzero thickness and/or attractive forces requires numerical work that, to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been pursued.

The notation is that of Butler, Gordon and Malcolm. The reader unfamiliar with the power of the cascade approach to polymer statistics will gain a better insight into its fundamentals from a recent paper (cf. also v/hich generalises the earlier formulae to embrace, e.g., the particle scattering functions through the notion of a trail-weighting function, which is of wide utility. ...
