Biological and Synthetic Polymer Networks contains 36 papers
selected from the papers presented at NETWORKS 86, the 8th Polymer
Networks Group Meeting. NETWORKS 86 was held in Elsinore, Denmark,
on 31 August 5 September 1986. A total of nine invited main
lectures and 68 contributed papers were presented at the meeting. A
wide range of important biological and synthetic materials consist
of three-dimensional polymer networks. The properties range from
very stiff structural materials to extremely flexible rubbery
materials and gels. Most polymer networks are permanent networks
held together by covalent bonds. Such networks are insoluble but
they may swell considerably in good solvents. Polymer networks held
together by ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds or so-called entanglements
are of a more temporary nature. At long times they exhibit a
tendency to flow, and they are soluble in good solvents. The paper
by Professor Walther Burchard and his co-workers, 'Covalent,
Thermoreversible and Entangled Networks: An Attempt at Comparison',
serves as a general introduction to polymer networks. The book
contains both theoretical and experimental papers on the formation,
characterisation and properties of polymer networks. Two topics
were given special sessions at the meeting, namely Biological
Networks and Swelling of Polymer Networks.
