PCCl and ICTM jointly publish a feature article in the Macromolecular Rapid Communication special issue "Poly(2-oxazoline)s and Related Pseudo-Polypeptide Structures"

Macromolecular Rapid Communications is the #1 communications journal (Impact Factor: 4.6) publishing original research in polymer science, from chemistry and physics of polymers to polymers in materials science and life sciences. The current issue "Poly(2-oxazoline)s and Related Pseudo-Polypeptide Structures" was guest-edited by Richard Hoogenboom and Helmut Schlaad. The feature by Andrew M. Kelly and Frank Wiesbrock summarizes the currently known strategies for the preparation of poly(2-oxazoline)-based hydrogels, considering both in situ and polymer-analogous cross-linking, and highlights example applications in the biomedic(in)al area.
