Making polymers into nanoparticles as an essential step in polymer solution processing is of key importance for many applications of polymers. This book seeks to uncover the basics and recent advances in polymer nanoparticles, including polymer synthesis, self-assembly, properties, and applications. It encompasses the various preparation methods of polymer nanoparticles, broadly ranged from single chain collapse to polymerization methods and solution self-assembly. It showcases a wide range of advanced applications of polymer nanoparticles in several fields that include pharmaceutics (drug and nucleotide delivery), biomedicals (bioimaging, diagnosis, and therapeutics), energy (batteries and solar cells) and environmental (catalysis and water purification).This book is enriched with a comprehensive range of content, incorporating synthesis, properties and applications in polymeric nanoparticles that will serve as a suitable beginner guide and survey book in polymer nanomaterials, as well as a useful tool for graduate students, scientists and practitioners in related fields or industries such as chemistry, materials science and engineering, nanomaterials, energy storage and conversion devices, and biomedicine.

This volume reflects on the past, present, and future of Singapore's politics and society through selected works from leading government figures, academics, and practitioners.The chapters of this volume detail the crucial drivers of Singapore's success — namely, good governance, a renewed social compact, and enduring bilateral relations. Part I covers insights about governing values and philosophies, leadership succession, and the country's political system. Part II details contemporary issues relating to Singapore's social compact, such as the arts, culture, and sports; healthcare; as well as housing and community-building. Part III features think pieces on Singapore's foreign policy principles, her long-standing bilateral relations with diplomatic partners, as well as national security.This volume serves as a commemoration and celebration of Singapore's 60 years of nation-building thus far — giving readers not just a thorough understanding of the factors undergirding the country's success, but also valuable insights on how we might all ensure the continuation of this success into the future.

This volume reflects on the past, present, and future of Singapore's economy and society through selected works from leading government figures, academics, and practitioners.The chapters of this volume are organised according to the different kinds of society that Singapore has become or is evolving into — namely, an inclusive, tech-adept, silver, sustainable, and globalised society. Part I covers Singapore's approaches to improving social mobility, as well as her unique labour model. Part II details the country's digitalisation efforts and becoming a 'Smart Nation 2.0' in the context of technological disruptions like artificial intelligence. Part III features Singapore's efforts for adapting to an ageing population, focusing on healthcare, retirement, and reimagining care for the future. Part IV details the nation's efforts in fostering sustainability on the level of the environment and the economy; renewable energy; as well as resource consumption. Part V lastly covers Singapore's status as a global city amidst a deglobalising world.This volume presents the various important dimensions to Singapore's economy, celebrating progress made as well as cutting-edge developments. Any reader invested in Singapore's continued success will find this volume relevant and timely as the country arrives at an important milestone in an unprecedented and rapidly changing world.
