This volume includes contributions to the 10th Dresden Polymer Discussion held in 2005. The meeting focused on the characterization of polymer surfaces and thin films. The contributions cover a representative spectrum of surface sensitive techniques and their application to polymer surface and thin film characterization, as well as recent examples of technologically relevant materials and process development.
