Polymer Phase Behavior

This book examines the phase behavior of polymers. The authors present topical research in this field. Topics discussed include the phase behavior of PVP as compared with that of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam); the applicability of lattice cluster theory to the calculation of miscibility; Raman study of the pressure and temperature induced transformations in crystalline polymers of C60; polymer phase behavior in nanocomposites; and, phase inverting polymer systems in drug delivery medicine and the correlation between stereochemistry and phase behavior.
