Nanoscale Structure in Polymers I


Description:
We seek papers dealing with interfacial phenomena in nanoscopic systems containing polymers. Experimental and theoretical contributions are welcomed. For this session, papers specifically dealing with self-organization of polymers at surfaces and interfaces are especially welcome.
