Preface
Reactive and functional polymers are essentially linked to the chemistry of the polymers and their applications. The multiple tasks that they have accomplished in our
recent history, and how they will help new advances in different crucial fields are
indisputable. Volume 3 of this book has been focused on advanced polymeric materials such as active, intelligent and multiple-response polymers made from reactive
and functional polymers. I appreciate the valuable contribution of each of the contributing authors for this book from 11 different countries.
