Summary

"This volume focuses on examining how molecular self-organization in a range of apparently diverse polymeric systems--synthetic (liquid crystal polymers, block copolymers, dendrimers) as well as biological (DNA, polyelectrolytes, peptides)--can be understood using tools from physical chemistry. Work is presented in the following areas: hierarchical order; polymer nanostructures; biomimetic materials--lessons from nature; mesophase precursors in polymer crystallization--an ongoing saga; functional polymers: conductive and light-emitting polymer materials; polymer-templated structures; polymer-inorganic hybrids; and single chain structure and mechanical properties"--Back cover.
