Summary:

This text is the first to provide a comprehensive and systematic look at the physics underlying the remarkable structural and dynamical properties of block copolymers. It provides the polymer scientist and technologist with a firm grounding in the fundamental principles underlying the diverseapplications, and it highlights many of the intriguing features of these polymers, including nanoscale self-assembly in bulk and two-dimensions. The book includes in-depth discussions of the recent theoretical and experimental advances in the field. Topics covered include the thermodynamics anddynamics of block copolymer melts, block copolymers in dilute, semidilute and concentrated solutions, the structure of crystalline block copolymers, and block copolymers in blends with other polymers. An essential resource for researchers in polymer physics and materials science, the book will alsoappeal to advanced students and researchers in a wide range of related disciplines.
