Publisher's Synopsis
This Symposium Series book presents new ideas and concepts in block copolymer science. It addresses recent developments in the area of synthesis, characterization and application of block copolymers that are of a non-conventional nature, as well as novel non-conventional functional block copolymers in all its potential application areas, ranging from bio-sciences to materials sciences. The book provides a full overview on state-of-the-art applications of block copolymers. It provides an excellent snapshot of the exciting research that is going on in the "old" field of block copolymers and that although the basic phase behavior of such systems is well-understood, many more stimulating and exciting aspects of this class of materials has not yet been explored.
