Preface

Owing to technological developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology,

our society currently enjoys an improved quality of life afforded to us by

nanomaterials with precise functions. This is highlighted by the influence of

scientific breakthroughs in everyday life because of advances in electronics

(smartphones, computers, televisions, etc.), transportation (automobiles,

superfast electric trains, and aircraft), medicine (pharmaceutical drugs,

instrumentation, and apparatuses), and even simple examples around the

house such as kitchenware, tools, and furniture. These functional

nanomaterials are the result of extensive fundamental as well as

application-based research carried out at both the academic and industrial

scale.

Several years ago, Springer-Verlag initiated a project to publish an ency-

clopedia that reflects the worldwide trends and transformations within a

scientific field while keeping in mind important focal points. They asked us,

as polymer scientists, to be Editors-in-Chief (EiC) for an important section of

Major Reference Works (Springer Reference), which we graciously accepted

and decided to name “Encyclopedia of Polymeric Nanomaterials” (EPN).

Here, “nano” refers to materials on the length scale of ~10�9 m (nm), whichgenerally corresponds to the size of many polymeric macromolecules. Yet, it

is essential to understand how the large-scale assembly of these nanomaterials

eventually governs their physical and chemical properties as active compo-

nents in various applications. It is the combination of controlling the specific

functionalities and bulk properties of nanomaterials that allows for manipu-

lating the final desired characteristics of the products.

We would like to mention that this encyclopedia is the first to exclusively

focus on the concepts, practices, and applications in the genre of polymeric

nanomaterials (PNs). In regard to our intent with EPN, we aspired to provide a

comprehensive overview of a wide range of PN fields. Based on the com-

plexities and vast nature of the subject, it was necessary to classify section

topics to more readily organize the available information. These sections

were generally differentiated by chemical identification (both name and

structural composition), preparation methods (synthetic and processing),

and the resulting properties and application-based functions. Keywords for

the chapters were chosen based on synthetic techniques, architectures, phys-

ical states and properties, as well as the fields of application for the

nanomaterials in an effort to simplify the organization of EPN.

v

vi Preface

We are much indebted to our section editors (associate editors), who were

instrumental in selecting and organizing the topics as well as inviting the right

authors to contribute in their respective fields. Furthermore, we would like to

extend our gratitude to these topic authors for their efforts, which made it

possible to successfully complete the EPN project.

We believe that EPN provides a thorough analysis of the many fields

related to polymeric nanomaterials both past and present with our aspiration

to readily provide this knowledge to those who are interested in these rapidly

progressing disciplines. EPN is expected to be an essential reference source

for students and researchers from related fields as well as become a useful

resource for members of both academia and industry. Ideally, the knowledge

presented within this encyclopedia will present an excellent overview of

polymeric nanomaterials, yet encourage the future pursuit of even greater

challenges in this most exciting field.

Acknowledgments

At first, we acknowledge all the scientists across the world who acted as

section editors (associate editors) as well as topic authors. Without their great

contributions, EPN would have never been launched.

We thank the Springer-Verlag staff: Dr. M. Hertel was responsible for the

project of EPN and encouraged us to work on editing EPN. Then,

Dr. T. Wassermann took over her job. At the beginning, Ms. S. Fabiani and

Mr. A. J. Chandy pushed and helped us to get the project started. During our

editing works, Ms. T. Shelton and Ms. V. Shome have been doing important

office work to help us much over the years.

Finally, we thank our former teachers, to whom we owe a lot concerning

education, research, and human life: the late Professor Emeritus Junji

Furukawa (Kyoto University), Professor Emeritus Takeo Saegusa (Kyoto

University), Professor George A. Olah (University of Southern California,

Los Angeles), and Professor Helmut Ringsdorf (University of Maniz, Mainz)

from S. Kobayashi; the late Professor Emanuel Vogel (University of Cologne,

Colonge), Professor Erhart W. Fischer, Professor Gerhart Wegner, and

Professor Hans W. Spiess (all Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research,

Mainz) from K. Muellen.

About the Editors

Shiro Kobayashi studied organic chemistry and

polymer chemistry in Kyoto University, where he

received his B.S. in 1964 and M.S. in 1966, both

with the thesis on Ziegler-Natta polymerizations

from Prof. J. Furukawa, and Ph.D. in 1969 with

the thesis on organic synthesis reactions from

Prof. T. Saegusa. Then, he worked with

Prof. G. A. Olah as a postdoctoral fellow at

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland,

for 2 years, during which he investigated basic

carbocationic reactions. In 1972, he joined

Kyoto University as a research associate to start studying new polymer

syntheses including cationic ring-opening polymerizations of cyclic ethers,

2-oxazolines and cyclic phosphorus monomers, zwitterionic polymerizations,

and bio-related polymer synthesis. In 1976, he studied pharmacologically

active polymers as a Humboldt fellow working with Prof. H. Ringsdorf at the

University of Mainz. In 1986, after lectureship in Kyoto University, he was

appointed as a full professor at Tohoku University in Sendai, where he started

a new project of enzymatic polymerization. The project brought about his

major work in his research career. In 1997, he moved to Kyoto University and

officially retired in 2005 to become a professor emeritus. Since then, he has

been a distinguished professor at Kyoto Institute of Technology, continuing

research work on polymer synthesis. His research interests include new

polymer synthesis reactions and their reaction mechanism and functional and

high-performance polymeric materials. Among others, the enzyme-catalyzed

polymer synthesis was focused and developed, which contributes to green

polymer chemistry and enabled the first in vitro synthesis of natural and

unnatural polysaccharides such as cellulose, xylan, chitin, hyaluronic acid,

chondroitin, cellulose-chitin hybrid polysaccharide, etc., various functional

polyesters, and new aromatic polymers.

For his contributions to polymer chemistry, he received the following

awards: the Award of the Chemical Society of Japan for Young Chemists

(1976); the Award of the Society of Polymer Science, Japan (1986); the

Distinguished Invention Award (1993, for cellulose synthesis from the Min-

istry of Science and Technology, Japanese Government); the Award of the

Oil and Fat Industry Foundation, Japan (1996); the Cellulose Society of Japan

Klaus M€ullen studied chemistry at the Univer-sity of Cologne, Germany, where he received his

Diplom-Chemiker degree in 1969 working with

Prof. E. Vogel. In 1972, he obtained his Ph.D.

from the University of Basel, Switzerland, with a

thesis on twisted pi systems and EPR spectro-

scopic properties of the corresponding radical

anions under supervision of Professor F. Gerson.

In 1972, he joined the research group of Professor

J.F.M. Oth as a postdoctoral fellow at ETHZ€urich,

where he worked in the field of dynamic NMR

spectroscopy and electrochemistry. Here, he received his habilitation in 1977

and was appointed Privatdozent. In 1979, he became a Professor in Organic

Chemistry at the University of Cologne and in 1983 at the Johannes Gutenberg

University of Mainz. Since 1989, he is director of the Max Planck Institute for

Polymer Research.

His research interests cover a broad range, from new polymer-forming

reactions by methods of organometallic chemistry to multidimensional poly-

mers with complex shape-persistent architectures, functional biosynthetic

hybrids, dyes and pigments, chemistry and physics of single molecules, and

materials for electronic and optoelectronic devices. Especially graphenes and

carbonmaterials are the central theme throughout his scientific career. He owns
