Publisher's Synopsis
Scattering methods as important tools for the characterization of the structure and dynamics of polymers provided the theme for the 60<sup>th</sup> meeting in the series of the Prague Meetings on Macromolecules held in July, 2001. Highlights included discussion of the following topics: <ul type="disc"> <li>Light, X–ray, and neutron scattering techniques <li>Applications of these methods to a variety of polymeric materials and systems </ul> <p> Papers based on the main lectures, special lectures, and panel discussions presenting recent research on these topics have been collected and are available in this volume of <i>Macromolecular Symposia.</i>
