Functionalized polymers: synthesis and properties
نویسنده
چکیده
Materials that are used in everyday life have an immense impact on the development of the human society. During the Stone Age and Iron Age epochs, humans widely used stone or iron to make tools. In the present age, there is no question that polymers and plastics dominate our rapidly developing daily needs and show enormous potential for the development of new technologies. Constructive materials, for instance, are preferentially made of standard polymeric materials such as polyolefins, polyesters or polyamides. It is therefore obvious that the future of polymer chemistry will be influenced by the elaboration of new functional polymers. At the beginning of the application of synthetic materials, naturally occurring polymers as cellulose or polyisoprene were simply modified, for example by esterification or cross-linking to obtain the desired properties. Hermann Staudinger, for instance, chemically modified starch to prove the existence of high molecular weight substances. Nowadays, the development of various functional polymers is becoming increasingly important in specific areas of application.
