Abstract

This thesis presents the first reported grafted PPE - polycaprolactone-g-PPE; the first PPE based sensing model: biotinylated grafted PPE/streptavidin coated sphere; the first photocrosslinkable PPE ¨C allyloxy PPE; and the new mechanism which demonstrates morphology control on a single molecular level
