✦ Synopsis
Book reviews
113 mixtures in a more conventional type system, followed by a further group of papers on the way in which liquid crystalline polymers and other systems may be organized when interacting with substrates. These papers tend to be concerned with physical measurement of the nature of these systems rather than the usual emphasis on synthesis and conceptual organization, and cover the whole spread of possible types of organization in interactions which might be envisaged within polymer systems, presenting an interesting view of the current state of understanding in nanostructures.
As a collection of papers, the life of this publication is likely to be limited. However, it will be of interest to all those current PhD students attempting to understand the complexities of interactions at a polymeric level both in the solid and solution phase. It is an interesting collection of papers, but is not necessarily a comprehensive view of the topic.
