Another interesting approach to creating surface mimetics comes from a synthetic polymer perspective. In particular, the Tsukube group has developed a series of proteodendrimer inhibitors of the cytochrome c/cytochrome bs... 

To provide a rational framework in terms of which the student can become familiar with these concepts, we shall organize our discussion of the crystal-liquid transition in terms of thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural perspectives. Likewise, we shall discuss the glass-liquid transition in terms of thermodynamic and mechanistic principles. Every now and then, however, to impart a little flavor of the real world, we shall make reference to such complications as the prior history of the sample, which can also play a role in the solid behavior of a polymer. 

In describing the various mechanical properties of polymers in the last chapter, we took the attitude that we could make measurements on any time scale we chose, however long or short, and that such measurements were made in isothermal experiments. Most of the experimental results presented in Chap. 3 are representations of this sort. In that chapter we remarked several times that these figures were actually the result of reductions of data collected at different temperatures. Now let us discuss this technique our perspective, however, will be from the opposite direction taking an isothermal plot apart. 

Other blends such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) with cellulose acetate (208), PHA with polycaprolactone (209), poly(lactic acid) with poly(ethylene glycol) (210), chitosan and cellulose (211), poly(lactic acid) with inorganic fillers (212), and PHA and aUphatic polyesters with inorganics (213) are receiving attention. The different blending compositions seem to be limited only by the number of polymers available and the compatibiUty of the components. The latter blends, with all natural or biodegradable components, appear to afford the best approach for future research as property balance and biodegradabihty is attempted. Starch and additives have been evaluated ia detail from the perspective of stmcture and compatibiUty with starch (214). 

At X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) of samples of the limited weight is perspective to prepare for specimens as polymeric films on a basis of methylcellulose [1]. By the example of definition of heavy metals in film specimens have studied dependence of intensity of X-ray radiation from their chemical compound, surface density (P ) and the size (D) particles of the powder introduced to polymer. Have theoretically established, that the basic source of an error of results XRF is dependence of intensity (F) analytical lines of determined elements from a specimen. Thus the best account of variations P provides a method of the internal standard at change P from 2 up to 6 mg/sm the coefficient of variation describing an error of definition Mo, Zn, Cu, Co, Fe and Mn in a method of the direct external standard, reaches 40 %, and at use of a method of the internal standard (an element of comparison Ga) value does not exceed 2,2 %. Experiment within the limits of a casual error (V changes from 2,9 up to 7,4 %) has confirmed theoretical conclusions.

A good deal of work has been done on polymeric crown ethers during the last decade. Hogen Esch and Smid have been major contributors from the point of view of cation binding properties, and Blasius and coworkers have been especially interested in the cation selectivity of such species. Montanari and coworkers have developed a number of polymer-anchored crowns for use as phase transfer catalysts. Manecke and Storck have recently published a review titled Polymeric Catalysts , which may be useful to the reader in gaining additional perspective.

Conducting polymers have found applications in a wide variety of areas,44 45 and many more have been proposed. From an electrochemical perspective, the most important applications46 appear to be in batteries and supercapacitors 47,48 electroanalysis and sensors49-51 electrocatalysis,12,1, 52 display and electrochromic devices,46 and electromechanical actuators.53...
