Abstract
This chapter will give a brief outline on recent advances in grafting techniques for the surface modification of membranes made from synthetic materials or biopolymers, specifically cellulose. In addition, it highlights how these techniques may lead to polymeric surfaces with increased functionality by providing examples where various grafting techniques are used to change the nature of surfaces.
Keywords: Membrane, surface initiated polymerization, grafting-from, grafting-to, reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP).

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
