Description
This is a classic edition of Bioactive Polymeric Systems: An Overview, Edited by Charles G. Gebelein and Charles E. Carraher, Jr. This Hard Cover textbook is 1st Edition - copyright is 1985. Condition is Good . The cover has stains, and the front pages and page edges are yellowed from age, as seen in the pictures. The content of the book is clean and unmarked and appears unread. Excerpt from the Preface : The vast array of libraries in the world bear mute witness to the truth of the 3000-year-old observation of King Solomon who stated "... of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Yet books are an essential written record of our lives and the progress of science and humanity. Here is another book to add to this huge collection, but, hopefully, not just another collection of pages, but rather a book with a specific purpose to aid in alleviating the weariness of the flesh that could arise from much studying of other journals and books in order to obtain the basic information contained herein. This book is about polymeric materials and biological activity, as the title notes. Polymeric materials, in the broad view taken here, would include not only synthetic polymers (e.g., polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters, polyamides, etc.), but also the natural macromolecules (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides) which compose natural tissues in humans, animals and plants. In the broad sense used here, biological activity is any type of such action whether it be in medication, pest control, plant-growth regulation, and so on. In short, this book attempts to consider, briefly, the use of any type of polymeric material system with essentially any kind of biological activity.
