Introduction to Reactive and Functional Polymers: A Note From the Editor Tomy J. Gutiérrez
Abstract Reactive and functional polymers are manufactured essentially from the chemical or physical modification of their precursors or by the addition of active fillers. These polymers have proven important for the development of advanced materials for different applications, and they are booming and will be a fundamental part in the future life for agricultural, energy efficiency, environmental remediation, medical devices, among others. With this chapter, we open the main topics that will be analyzed in this book. Keywords Crosslinked polymers · Crosslinking · Elastomers · Fiber · Lignin · Polyesters · Polyurethanes · Rubbers · Silicone
1.1 Fundamentals for Reactive and Functional Polymers In general, reactive and functional polymers are obtained by chemical or physical manipulation of polymeric structures using different reactions (Gutiérrez 2017a, b, 2018a, b; Gutiérrez et al. 2018; Gutiérrez and Álvarez 2016; Gutiérrez and Alvarez 2017a, b, c, d; Gutiérrez and Alvarez 2018; Gutiérrez and González 2016, 2017; Gutiérrez et al. 2016b; Gutiérrez et al. 2015b; Gutiérrez et al. 2016a; Gutiérrez et al. 2015a; Gutiérrez et al. 2019; Herniou--Julien et al. 2019; Merino et al. 2019a, Merino et al. 2019b; Merino et al. 2018b; Merino et al. 2018a; Toro-Márquez et al. 2018; Zarrintaj et al. 2019).
