This is a valuable, up-to-date resource for researchers in industry, government, or academia who work in ceramics engineering.

The initial chapters introduce readers to the synthesis, optical and electrical properties of various conjugated polyelectrolytes. This is followed by chapters on the applications of these materials in optical sensing and imaging with emphasis on biological systems, while the final section addresses the emerging applications of conjugated polyelectrolytes in optoelectronic devices, concluding with an in-depth discussion of structure-property relationship.

Based on a thorough review of the literature as well as the authors’ own laboratory experience, Coordination Chemistry in Protein Cages

• Sets forth the principles of coordination reactions in natural protein cages
• Details the fundamental design of coordination sites of small artificial metalloproteins as the basis for protein cage design
• Describes the supramolecular design and assembly of protein cages for or by metal coordination
• Examines the latest applications of protein cages in biology and nanotechnology
• Describes the principles of coordination chemistry that govern self-assembly of synthetic cage-like molecules

The toxicology part addresses, among others, recent advances in early genetic toxicity testing, bioactivation screening, organ-specific toxicity assays for liver, heart, kidney and blood, as well as profiling for autoimmune reactions.
By addressing both drug efficiency and drug safety, this modern practical reference shows readers how each individual aspect figures in shaping the key decisions on which the entire drug development process hinges. In short, this is a complete toolbox for assessing the risk/benefit ratio for any novel compound during the early drug development stages, using both in vitro and in silico methods. Both editors are based at one of the leading research-driven pharmaceutical companies, and the authors have been recruited from numerous other global players in the field. Invaluable know-how for every medicinal chemist and drug developer.

Along with the above topics, the Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts provides tables of valuable data to assist in reproducing a synthesis or applying the knowledge to a new problem. Polymerization reactivities, polymer properties, monomer and solvent purity requirements, molecular weights, distribution, and reactivity ratios are also covered. The Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts offers an excellent one-stop resource for understanding and applying polymerization catalysts.
