COVER STORY
A Strong Property Produced from Weakness
Van der Waals forces, dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds can influence interactions among polymer chains. Though these bonds are quite weak in comparison with the covalent bonds forming main chains of polymers, they can strongly affect everything from the crystalline structure to superstructures of polymers. Thus, it is not too much to say that these weak forces govern the macroscopic properties of polymers. In this volume, we highlight polymers showing various functions and properties induced by weak interactions among polymer chains.
