In the 1920s, Staudinger [2] first suggested that macromolecules were not simple aggregates but could exist in their own right. They could not be reduced to the smaller molecules from which they were derived without the destruction of their unique macromolecular chemical identity. It is now well established that macromolecules, and polymers in general, derive their properties from the... 

Throughout much of the early growth and evolution of polymer science, the quest for new properties was focused primarily on the two traditional architectures that defined thermoplastic (linear) and thermoset (cross-Unked polymers). Within each of these areas, there was intense activity to evaluate and optimize certain critical parameters. These parameters included various macromolecular chemical compositions, copolymer compositions, molecular weight effects, molecular weight distributions, and cross-link... 

The development of polymeric materials with high functionality is among the most promising fields in the chemistry of macromolecular compounds. The low molecular macrochain extenders offer ample opportunities of variation of the macromolecular chemical structure, thus influencing the properties of the final polymeric materials. Hydrazine and its derivatives rank high in this respect, as it is confirmed in the present chapter. The combination of various valuable properties of hydrazine-based thermoplastic elastomers brings them in line with the best commercial polymers. 

The fir.-fit line of the file (see Figure 2-110) - the HEADER record - hold.s the moleculc. s classification string (columns 11-50), the deposition date (the date when the data were received by the PDB) in columns 51-59, and the PDB (Dcode for the molecule, which is unique within the Protein Data Bank, in columns 63-66. The second line - the TITLE record - contains the title of the experiment or the analysis that is represented in the entry. The subsequent records contain a more detailed description of the macromolecular content of the entiy (COMPND), the biological and/or chemical source ofeach biological molecule in the entiy (SOURCE), a set ofkeywords relevant to the entiy (KEYWDS). information about the experiment (EXPDTA), a list of people responsible for the contents of this entiy (.AUTHOR), a history of modifications made to this entiy since its release (REVDAT), and finally the primaiy literature citation that describes the experiment which resulted in the deposited dataset ()RNL). 

In a biocatalytic biosensor the molecular recognition component is an enzyme. Enzymes, macromolecular catalysts that are manufactured by plants and animals, affect the rates of biochemical reactions. Virtually all of the millions of chemical reactions involved in Hfe processes have associated enzymes controlling the rates. CoUectively, there are several thousand enzymes known and perhaps many thousand more yet to be discovered. 

In order to "cure" or "vulcanize" an elastomer, ie, cross-link the macromolecular chains (Fig. 2), certain chemical ingredients are mixed or compounded with the mbber, depending on its nature (4,5). The mixing process depends on the type of elastomer a high viscosity type, eg, natural mbber, requires powerhil mixers (such as the Banbury type or mbber mills), while the more Hquid polymers can be handled by ordinary rotary mixers, etc (see Rubber... 

Diffusion theory involves the interdiffusion of macromolecules between the adhesive and the substrate across the interface. The original interface becomes an interphase composed of mixtures of the two polymer materials. The chemical composition of the interphase becomes complex due to the development of concentration gradients. Such a macromolecular interdiffusion process is only... 

A large part of organic and macromolecular chemistry starts with the chemical functionalization of benzene, and benzene units serve us building blocks for important polymers. Naturally, benzene-based aromatic materials also represent an important subclass of jt-conjugaled architectures. Despite some synthetic difficulties related to the generation of structurally well-defined oligo- and poly(phenyl-... 

Macromolecules bearing reactive groups in the repeat units along their chains are capable of multiple interaction with the matrix. As early as 1973, Wilchek prepared Sepharose-based supports chemically modified by chemisorbed polylysine and polyvinylamine [41]. The leakage of dyes covalently bonded to these supports was reduced remarkably as compared to non-modified Sepharose activated by cyanogen bromide. Thus, stable and high capacity affinity adsorbents could be prepared by the introduction of macromolecular spacers between a matrix and a biospecific ligand. 

At the moment there exist no quantum chemical method which simultaneously satisfies all demands of chemists. Some special demands with respect to treatment of macromolecular systems are, the inclusion of as many as possible electrons of various atoms, the fast optimization of geometry of large molecules, and the high reliability of all data obtained. To overcome the point 4 of the disadvantages, it is necessary to include the interaction of the molecule with its surroundings by means of statistical thermodynamical calculations and to consider solvent influence. 

As a polycation, chitosan spontaneously forms macromolecular complexes upon reaction with anionic polyelectrolytes. These complexes are generally water-insoluble and form hydrogels [90,91]. A variety of polyelectrolytes can be obtained by changing the chemical structure of component polymers, such as molecular weight, flexibility, fimctional group structure, charge density, hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, stereoregularity, and compatibility, as... 

The important role of radicals and radical ions in various branches of chemistry (e.g., electrochemistry, radiation chemistry, macromolecular chemistry), their remarkable physical properties and reactivity, as well as the specific problems in a quantum chemical approach, make this region interesting from the theoretical point of view.
