Polymer Blends and Mixtures

A couple of years ago a small group of people began discus­ sing the possibility of running an advanced summer school in the area of polymer blends. There had been a number of recent advan­ ces in this field, and given the considerable interest in these new polymeric materials, we thought such a mee...
