Synthetic polymers, affinity chromatography

Topics of interest in relation to biopolymer surface modifications have already been addressed before. As these topics have continuously been reviewed during the last 30 years of polymer chemistry, the synthetic methods that were used most are covered here. This chapter emphasizes in particular the physical/chemical modifications necessary to improve the apphcation properties of biopolymers and hence their potential applications in drug dehvery systems, packaging, affinity chromatography, and biosensor fields.
