Water / Polymer Systems |
| Water is ubiquitous as an environment for polymers, whereas
the full elucidation of interrelation among polymer structures, properties
and high performances in aqueous systems (e.g., bio-systems) remains to
be a long-standing challenge. At the same time, aqueous systems are now
acknowledged for their importance against the environmental problems,
and many application researches are undertaken to utilize the features
of water. In this issue, we focused especially on the fundamental areas
and related sciences by introducing some recent developments and topics.
For the applied and industrial fields, another coming issue will be devoted. （Editors: M.SATOH and Y.SUZUKI） |
