The development of new polymeric materials has caused a
considerable expansion in the field of reactive processing. These
new materials are very competitive compared to the traditional ones
with respect to production costs and performance. The reports
published in this volume present the recent developments and
emerging trends in the field of reactive processing and the
physical properties of the resulting polymeric materials. Special
attention is given to the chemical, kinetic and rheological aspects
of reactive processing.
Multicomponent polymeric systems, or polymeric blends, have
recently created considerable interest and they represent a new and
important challenge for research. These systems have already become
technologically important, but the prospects for their applications
have by no means been exhausted. For thermodynamic reasons polymer
blends do not usually form homogeneous mixtures but exhibit micro
or macrophase separation. This incompatibility has some inherent
advantages as varying the composition and the processing
conditions, materials with different structures and morphologies
can be obtained whose properties may be superior to those of one of
the components e. g. high impact resistant plastics. Investigations
of multicomponent polymer systems constitute a new branch of
macromolecular science which now claims as much interest as the
behaviour of dilute solutions, crystallization, statistics of
chain~~ tacticity, and single crystal formation did a few years
ago. The complexity of the problems related to control led
preparation and properties studies of mUlticomponent polymer
systems is such that it is often more practicable to conduct them
on an international basis. The aim of the first Joint
Italian-Polish Seminar on Multicomponent Polymer Systems was to
discuss recent results obtained in that field in both countries. As
the range of topics to be covered was fairly wide, we thought it
advisable to invite scientists from other countries to share with
us some aspects of their own studies.

Though children have never been absent from international studies
discourse, they are too often reduced to a few simplistic and
unidimensional framings. This book seeks to recover children’s
agency and to recognise the complex variety of childhoods and the
global issues that affect them. Written by an international list of
contributors from Europe, Africa, North America and Australasia,
chapters present highly nuanced accounts of children and childhoods
across global political time and space split into three broad
sections: imagined childhoods, governed childhoods and lived
childhoods. Through its analysis, the book demonstrates how IR is,
somewhat paradoxically, quite deeply invested in a particular
rendering of childhood as, primarily, a time of innocence,
vulnerability and incapacity.
