Informationen zum Autor K. te Nijenhuis and W. J. Mijs are the authors of The Wiley Polymer Networks Group Review, Volume 1, Chemical and Physical Networks: Formation and Control of Properties, published by Wiley. Klappentext This, the first Wiley publication of a Polymer Network Group Review, presents articles resulting from the 13th Polymer Network Group conference that took place in the Netherlands in September 1996. The scope of the conference was "Chemical versus Physical Networks: Formation and Control of Properties". The resulting contributions provided new insight into recent trends in liquid crystalline and anisotropic networks, nanostructures and new developments in network theory and modeling. The papers published in this volume have been divided into 7 sections: Thermoreversible and Biopolymer Gels Formation of Covalent Networks Liquid Crystalline Networks Characterisation of Networks Critical Gels Heterogeneous Gels Swelling of Networks Zusammenfassung This! the first Wiley publication of a Polymer Network Group Review! presents articles resulting from the 13th Polymer Network Group conference that took place in the Netherlands in September 1996.
