description: Sixteen papers examine how gravity can affect polymerizations and polymer processing and how weightlessness or "microgravity" is achieved. The volume reviews the current research from sounding rocket and orbital investigations, parabolic flight investigations, and ground-based research. Alsocovered are inorganic to biologically produced polymers, including free-radical polymerization, polymer-dispersed luquid crystals and foams.
