Polymer Crystallization Obervations, Concepts and Interpretations / edited by Günter Reiter, Jens-Uwe Sommer.

This volume introduces and reports on the state-of-the-art regarding both theoretical and experimental aspects of phase transitions in polymeric solutions or melts that lead to crystallization. Written in the form of a set of self-contained reviews, the book is both a modern and comprehensive source...
