New Trends in Physics and Physical Chemistry of Polymers

摘要: Between June 6-10, 1988, the Third Chemical Congress of North America was held at Toronto Convention Center. At this rare gathering, fifteen thousand scientists attended various symposia. In one symposia, Professor Pierre-Gilles de Gennes College France honored as 1988 recipient Amer ican Society Polymer Chemistry Award, sponsored by Mobil Corporation. For Gennes, international setting could not be more fitting. years, he has been a friend and lecturer to world scientific community. Thus, for special occasion, his friends came recount many achievements or report new research findings mostly derived from theories stimulated thoughts. volume Proceedings, titled New Trends in Physics Physical Polymers, we are glad present revised papers Symposium some contributed after Symposium. addition, intend include most lively discussions that took plaGe during conference. This contains total thirty-six divided into six parts, primarily according nature subject matter: Adsorption Colloids Polymers. Adhesion, Fractal Wetting Dynamics Characterization Solutions. Diffusion Interdiffusion Entanglement Reptation Melts Networks. Phase Transitions Gel Electrophoresis."
