First sentence: Polymeric (high-molecular-weight organic) materials such as polyolefin, polyester and polyamide, and organic (relatively low-molecular-weight) materials, like liquid crystals, are very significant in the life of contemporary humans because of their very wide usage.
Description: "This book gives an overview of recent advances in the science and technology of polymeric and organic materials. In a systematic and comprehensive manner, each chapter of this book gives a self-contained review of a particular aspect of recent progress. This book is the first attempt to provide a background perspective to the research field of polymeric and organic materials and it will be of great value to both professional researchers and postgraduate students."--BOOK JACKET.
