Publisher's Synopsis
The volume contains contributions to the international conference Spectroscopy of Partially Ordered Macromolecular Systems, Held on July 21–24, 2003, in Prague, Czech Republic The papers in the volume tackle most important aspects of examining partial order, either natural or induced by mechanical or chemical treatment of the system. The papers reproduce a wide variety of experimental and theoretical methods, mostly liquid and solid–state NMR including relaxation, pulsed field–gradient and imaging methods, as well as Vibrational, that is, infrared and Raman spectroscopy including infrared dichroism, confocal Raman microscopy and spectroscopy and spectroscopy in the near–infrared region.
