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.

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
Award (1996); Humboldt Research Award, Germany (1999); the Award of

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
