A One-Stop Entry into Hybrid Chemistry and Applications
Hybrid materials are made by linking molecules to supports in order to create optimal combinations and enhanced functionality. Successful synthesis requires a deep understanding of molecular-level events and the ability to control them through design. This book acts a step-by-step guide for designing organo-hybrid materials. Focusing on a molecular synthetic approach, chapters provide:
• Up-to-date strategies and methods of controlling functions of attachments
• Information about common classes of supports, including polymers and biopolymers, carbons, oxides, and nanostructures
• Details of specific supports, their synthesis, installation of organic substituents, effects on properties.
• Analytical techniques, with pros and cons, to validate synthetic strategies
• Hot topics: nanodiamonds, metal-organic frameworks, and chemoselective postsynthetic protein modification.
Combining the perspectives of internationally-recognized chemists from synthetic, polymer, organic, and inorganic research backgrounds, this book pulls together diverse approaches to provide a well-rounded, interdisciplinary knowledge base about organo-hybrid materials.
