From page 7...
... Of recent interest in polymeric materials has been the development of rigid-rod polymers, self-assembled polymer architectures, polymer blends and alloys, and block copolymers. Developments of comparable significance have occurred in the semiconductor and structural materials fields.
From page 8...
... A series of symposia have addressed the synthesis and processing of nanoscale ceramics and polymers (Hench and Ulrich, 1984; Karasz, 1985; Hench and Ulrich, 1986; Mackenzie and Ulrich, 1988~. The materials research community has responded by initiating a new series of symposia at Materials Research Society meetings that extended submicron-scale microstructure concepts beyond nonmetallics to the full range of materials.
