Introduction to Chemistry and biological Applications of Poly (ethylene glycol)

摘要

The chemistry and biological applications o polyethylene glycol (or "PEG") have been the subject of intense study both in academics and in industry. The current volume contains 28 chapters dedicated to providing a review of the major aspects of the topic. In this introductory chapter we highlight recent developments in the field, with reference to those chapters emphasizing these developments. Also we discuss those few important aspects of PEG chemistry and applicatiosn that are not described i nthe chapters. A number of leading references are given.
