Polymer Surfaces in Motion [electronic resource] : Unconventional Patterning Methods /
Rodríguez-Hernández, Juan.editor.
Drummond, Carlos.editor.
Pattern formation is a fascinating and challenging aspect in polymer science. This book describes a number of unconventional approaches developed to control the morphology of polymer surfaces and materials, from random or simple patterns to complex structures. Specialists provide an up-to-date and complete overview of each technique in their respective field.
Description based upon print version of record.
