Comb-Shaped Polymers and Liquid Crystals (Specialty Polymers) by N.A. Platé, V.P. Shibaev Comb-Shaped Polymers and Liquid Crystals (Specialty Polymers) by N.A. Platé, V.P. Shibaev PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad to the American Edition We are pleased that our modest work, published some time ago in Russian in Moscow* and which attracted the attention of polymer specialists, t will now be available to the EngJish speaking audience of scientists - chemists, physicists, and technologists engaged in creating new types of polymer materi als for modern technology and working on the fundamental prob lems of the solid-state physics and structure of polymer- due to the initiative of Plenum Press. In polymer science, the 1980s were marked by the birth of a new field and a new scientific trend related to the dis covery and study of a previously unknown class of polymers thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymers - and the further development of the fundamental theoretical concepts of the liquid-crystallin...
