Abstract
This review summarizes the some advances and results of our recent investigations, outlining the synthesis, structural phenomena, unique properties and application areas of boron-containing bioengineering copolymers. Particular attention is paid to the effects of hydrogen bonding in copolymerization reactions of boron-containing monomers, and in formation of supramacromolecular structures, bioconjugates, physically and chemically crosslinkable copolymers, and other important bioengineering materials.
Keywords: Boron-containing copolymers; Synthesis; Copolymerization; Grafting; Stimuli-responsity; Supramacromolecular structure; Macrocomplexes; H-bonding; Bioengineering applications.
