Polyampholytes are unique polymers with properties that show potential as structural biomaterials, drug delivery and chemo-mechanical systems, biosensors, energy storage devices, supercapacitors, and actuators. This book reviews studies over the past 2 decades,analyzing and systematizing literature in the context of emerging technologies.

Professor Sarkyt E. Kudaibergenov is a prominent Kazakh polymer scientist, known for his research into water-soluble and water-swelling polyampholytes, macromolecular complexes, polymer-stabilized nanoparticles, polymeric catalysis, and stimuli-responsive materials for various applications. Despite having made many successful developments and contributions in the field of physical chemistry of polymers, Prof. S.E. Kudaibergenov's favorite topic remains polyampholytes, a subject he has studied since 1979, and on which he has published a number of reviews and a fundamental monograph.
