This volume summarizes the papers presented at the First Osaka
University Macromolecular Symposium OUMS'93 on "Ordering in
Macromolecular Systems," which was held at Senri Life Science
Center, Osaka, Japan, on June 3 through June 6, 1993. The symposium
covered the three topics, (1) Crystallization and Phase
Transitions, (2) Polymer Liquid Crystals and (3) Block Copolymers,
Polymer Blends and Surfaces, and invited leading scientists in
these fields. At present any of these topics is a hot issue in
itself and frequently taken up separately in many occasions. It is
noted however that all these topics are correlated with each other
with the keyword "Ordering" and their combination provides a unique
feature of the present symposium in reflecting the interactions
among investigators working in these important fields with the
common ground expressed by the keyword "Ordering." Nineteen invited
lectures and 40 posters of both experiment and theory were
presented at the symposium, and the eighteen lectures and ten
poster presentations contribute to this volume. In the first topic
crystal structures and their transitions were discussed from
kinetic as well as static points of view; attention was paid to
give a molecular-level interpretation of the structure, phase
transition and physical properties, using theories and simulations.
The second topic was mainly concerned with static structures and
thermodynamic properties of polymer liquid crystals including phase
behaviours.
Structural organization or disorganization in macromolecular
systems has been an important subject of polymer physical chemistry
during the last one or two decades. This volume summarizes the main
lectures presented at the Osaka University Macromolecular Symposium
OUMS '98 on Molecular Interactions and Time-Space Organization in
Macromolecular Systems, where the following topics were
discussed:crystallization kinetics, liquid crystals, phase
separation, gelation, adhesion, complex formation, and
self-organization, with emphasis on molecular interactions. Both
these topics are hot issues at present and frequently are taken up
as a main theme at a particular symposium. The present symposium
invited leading theorists and experimentalists in these fields as
guest speakers and is expected to attract the interest of a
significant range of readers.
