Thomas F. DeRosa Patent Applications

Annotation

A look at where novel polymer chemistry is heading Covering patent literature and process improvements in twenty-four polymer subject areas, Patent Applications: A Tool for Identifying Advances in Polymer Chemistry R &D provides researchers with current polymer research not yet published in journals or patents. The review and analysis by the author offers a more thorough understanding and concise package of the patent application. In addition extensive structure depictions of intermediates, products, and derivatives allow the researcher to better visualize material applications both in and beyond polymer chemistry. The coverage includes the following polymeric categories: Additives Adhesives Cosmetics Crystalline Materials Dyes Electrically Active Polymers Energetic Polymers Engineered Plastics Fibers Fuel Cells Improved Synthetic Methods Initiators/Modifiers Light Emitting Polymers Medical Polymers Nitric Oxide Releasing Agents Optical Pharmaceuticals Photoresists Phototherapy Recording Materials Stents Sutures Tissue Replacement Viscoelastic Polymers With this thorough and accurate survey, DeRosa provides a practical resource for polymer and organic chemists, as well as graduate students, to identify research and market trends, and to stay up-to-date on current developments in the field.
