Description
This book contains selected contributions of the symposium "Surface and Interfacial Phenomena in Macromolecular Systens", 17th Discussion Conference of the Prague Meeting on Macromolecules, presenting developments and concepts in the field of surface and interfacial phenomena in macromolecular systems. The emphasis was put on the behaviour of polymer chains in surface and interfacial layers, the methods of studying these layers in polymer systems, and influence of interfacial phenomena on the properties of multiphase polymer blends.
