Polymer Networks: No. 171 (Macromolecular Symposia) - Tapa dura

This volume of Macromolecular Symposia contains lectures presented at the 15th Polymer Networks Group Meeting held in Crackow, Poland in July, 2000. Polymer networks are now recognized as a distinct and valuable field of study. This view is reflected in the high level of interest shown by participants at the meeting. In addition to theoretical findings, the topics covered by this volume include interpenetrating networks - their formation, structure and properties - and heterogeneous, filled and hybrid networks. Research into the properties of hydrophilic and hydrophobic gels is also presented, as are studies of thermoset formation and the structure of sulfur.
