This volume of the series gives an overview on Rigid Polymer
Networks written by two reputed experts in the field. A broad range
of densely-branched, highly-crosslinked aromatic networks and gels
of increasing rigidity are discussed, with special emphasis on
aromatic rigid liquid-crystal polymer networks. The synthetic
procedures to create the networks are briefly described and
extensively referenced. Features of one-step and two-step rigid
networks in their pre-gel and post-gel states are discussed. Some
first steps are then taken in the theoretical treatment of LCP
networks with long aromatic segments of decreasing stiffness. The
current state of theory dealing with the broader class of
highly-crosslinked rigid aromatic networks and gels is finally
mentioned.
This volume comprises the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study In
stitute held at Geilo, Norway, April 6 -16 1999. The ASI was the
fifteenth in a series held biannually on topics related to
cooperative phenomena and phase transitions, in this case applied
to soft condensed matter and its configurations, dynamics and
functionality. It addressed the current experimental and
theoretical knowledge of the physical properties of soft condensed
matter such as polymers, gels, complex fluids, colloids, granular
materials and biomaterials. The main purpose of the lectures was to
obtain basic understanding of important aspects in relating
molecular configurations and dynamics to macroscopic properties and
biological functionality. To our knowledge, the term Soft Condensed
Matter was actually coined and used for the first time in 1989 at
Geilo and some selected topics of soft matter were also given at
Geilo in 1991, 1993 and 1995. A return to this subject 10 years
after its instigation thus allowed a fresh look and a possibility
for defining new directions for research."
