The 10th IUPAC International Symposium on Macromolecule-Metal Complexes (MMC-10) took place from May 18-23, 2003 in a boat traveling from Moscow along the Volga river. Areas presented included several basic and applied topics in the field of advanced MMC. Presented were the latest results in the fundamental aspects of: Macromolecule metal complexes (synthesis, structure, properties) Electron and photonic transfer Catalysis and separation processes Supramolecules Dendrimers Molecular recognition Metal ion conductive polymers Environmental application of MMC were widely discussed.

This report contains a review of the state of the art in photoinitiated polymerisation. The review is divided into two main parts. The first part is devoted to a basic description of the different photoinitiation processes encountered. In the second part photopolymerisation reactions are presented and discussed. This review is published together with an indexed section containing bibliographic references and abstracts to the cited articles.

The general features of ring-opening polymerisation, for example the dependence of polymerisability upon ring-strain, the significance of ring-chain equilibria, and the potential for formation of cyclic oligomers are outlined. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.

This book offers concise information on the properties of polymeric materials, particularly those most relevant to physical chemistry and chemical physics. Extensive updates and revisions to each chapter include eleven new chapters on novel polymeric structures, reinforcing phases in polymers, and experiments on single polymer chains. The study of complex materials is highly interdisciplinary, and new findings are scattered among a large selection of scientific and engineering journals. This book brings together data from experts in the different disciplines contributing to the rapidly growing area of polymers and complex materials.

In this thesis, Bernhard Schmidt describes his research into two fields in the chemical sciences: supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry. Schmidt first investigates cyclodextrins (CDs), which are well known for the formation of supramolecular host/guest complexes with hydrophobic molecules in aqueous solution. Schmidt then also examines reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization as a well-suited toll for the synthesis of water-soluble end-functionalized polymers. The author skillfully combines both concepts as a powerful tool to access reversibly forming macromolecular architectures. The novel methods and architectures presented in this work are highly interesting from both a fundamental point of view as well as a basis for the design of efficient drug release systems. The work in this thesis has led to a number of publications in top peer-reviewed journals.
