The opening of Advances in Polyamides Research briefly explains some of the basic concepts in thermoplastic elastomer materials. Next, the authors deal with fundamental concepts in the field of polyamide and fullerene-based nanomaterials. The influence of moieties on the properties of polymers is discussed in the final chapter. The authors focus on finding a global relationship between sugar-based monomer structures and properties of polyamides based on a careful analysis of existing reports.
