Samenvatting:

The first edition was produced at a time when the advantages of studying oriented polymers were just becoming apparent. 1 and 1. 1 THE PHENOMENON OF ORIENTATION Orientation in polymers is a phenomenon of great technical and theo­ retical importance.



The understanding of the structure and properties of polymers in the oriented state is an important requirement in the field of polymer science and technology. This volume provides the reader with a review of the present situation. Ten chapters cover a range of topics including structure and morphology, mechanical properties, characterization and experimental techniques. Each chapter provides an introduction to the subject as well as a topical review of recent research.
