The review concerns the science, technology and applications of macromolecular dyes and colorants. The approach considers some of the important synthesis routes to such species, and their applications, dealt with in a chronological order. The concepts that underpin the creation of macromolecular dyes are considered as are the strategies for the creation of a wide variety of variants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
