Summary:

This volume provides a comprehensive review of three specialized areas: synthetic peptides, macromolecular assemblies, and higher ordering in synthetic polymers. It emphasizes the inter- and cross- disciplinary information that is necessary for the definitive characterization of higher structural order and the many possible applications of such well-defined three-dimensional macromolecules.
