About the Author :
Vincent Rotello is the Goessmann Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His research emphasizes achieving a fundamental understanding of supramolecular chemistry and applying it to issues in biology and nanoscience including delivery, sensing, and devices. S. Thayumanavan is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His research focuses on the design and synthesis of novel macromolecules (dendrimers and polymers) that have applications in chemistry, biology, and materials science. Examples of these applications include catalysis and transport, drug and gene delivery, and light harvesting and sensory materials.

Review :
"This book is an excellent up-to-date source for scientists in the field, as well as for teachers and graduate students of advanced organic chemistry or material science. Industrial researchers might also find the thorough reviews of emerging field stimulating ... The book should serve as a very valuable source and reference in any institutional or personal library." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, February 4, 2009)
