COVER STORY Polymer Dynamics Research: Present and Perspective |
| Polymer physics is a fundamental, important scientific
field consisting of two parts: structural research and molecular dynamics
investigation of polymeric materials, which both have always been supplemental
partners to each other. Polymer physics has been making great efforts
to understand essential mechanisms for outstanding (and sometimes quite
curious) physical properties of polymeric materials. In this special issue,
we focus on polymer dynamics investigations that study molecular motions
of polymer molecules observed in enormously wide ranges of time and space
evoked by their huge molecular sizes. Some outstanding researchers in
this field present their concepts with actual hot topics, and other researchers
introduce great technical achievements for dynamic investigations of polymers
using new and powerful irradiation sources, such as coherent X-ray beams
generated in SPring-8 and strong neutron beams by a high intensity proton
accelerator in J-PARC.
