CATALYTIC AND SELF-ASSEMBLY ROUTES TO INORGANIC POLYMERIC AND SUPRAMOLECULAR MATERIALS

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of our research program as described in a lecture at Baylor University in May 2010 in a Symposium to honor Professor F. G. A. Stone.

Keywords:

• block copolymers
• inorganic polymers
• organometallic polymers
• self-assembly

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank the very dedicated and talented students that have worked in our group; our extensive range of collaborators, particularly Prof. Geoff Ozin and Prof. Mitch Winnik at the University of Toronto, Canada; and the funding agencies, especially NSERC and the EU, whose major support over the years has played an essential role in making the work possible.
