Engineering at the molecular level is no longer a computer-generated curiosity and is beginning to affect the lives of everyone. Molecules which can respond to their environment and the smart machines we can build with them are and will continue to be a vital part of this 21st-century revolution. Liming Dai presents the latest work on many newly-discovered intelligent macromolecular systems and reviews their uses in nano-devices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Macromolecules for Smart Devices\u003c\/strong\u003e features: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- An accessible assessment of the properties and materials chemistry of all the major classes of intelligent macromolecules from optoelectronic biomacromolecules to dendrimers, artificial opals and carbon nanotubes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- In-depth analysis of various smart devices including a critique of the suitability of different molecules for building each type of device\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- A concise compilation of the practical applications of intelligent macromolecules including sensors and actuators, polymer batteries, carbon-nanotube supercapacitors, novel lasing species and photovoltaic cells\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an exposition of cutting-edge research against a backdrop of comprehensive review, \u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Macromolecules for Smart Devices\u003c\/strong\u003e will be an essential addition to the bookshelf of academic and industrial researchers in nanotechnology.
