Opis

The book combines 18 invited lectures and 10 posters of the OUMS '93 symposium on "Ordering in Macromolecular Systems." It covers both experimental and theoretical investigation of the three topics (1) Cristallization and Phase Transition (2) Polymer Liquid Crystals and (3) Block Copolymers, Polymer Blends and Surfaces. The combination of these three topics which are correlated by "ordering" provides a unique feature of the present symposium in reflecting the interactions among investigators working in these important fields.
Thus the book will be a useful tool for the polymer specialist working in these related fields and will also serve as a reference book for those who wish to get familiar with these topics.
