This book focuses on controlling morphology of different scales for polymers. The authors explain the need for successful control of morphology to yield target macroscopic physical properties in the application of polymers to diverse areas such as engineering materials, nanodielectrics and photonic crystals. The book combines specialized chapters with an introduction to the morphology of polymers and the range of experimental techniques available to evaluate it.

Testo aggiuntivo
“This book is a very nice contribution to the field of polymer morphology such that in its 12 chapters, it discusses the recent progress and technologies in the area of polymer morphology. I think that each chapter is very well written and a great contribution and helpful document to the works of polymer and materials scientists who are actively working in the field of polymer morphology. This book can be also used as a reference in masters or doctoral courses.” (Barnes and Noble, barnesandnoble.com, December, 2016)
