The Macromolecular Journals family is pleased to present the “Best of Macros 2009″. The issue compiles a careful selection of nine of the most interesting articles that have been published over the past 18 months across the Macromolecular Journals family.
The final collection of this issue includes comprehensive overviews in the form of Reviews and Feature Articles, as well as Talents and Trends as a platform for young researchers and established experts to present their fields of research and their personal views. These are accompanied by original research articles in the form of Full Papers and rapid Communications.
The variety of contributions covers a wide range of hot topics including biological applications for drug delivery and protein-nanoparticle interactions as well as click chemistry and ATRP techniques for polymer materials design and functionalization of polymers. More theoretical considerations of controlled radical, miniemulsion and catalytic polymerization are also featured.
