The supramolecular structure of polymers and its effect on their mechanical properties

A study is made of the conditions of formation of various supramolecular structures in polymers and their effect on the mechanical properties. The nonuniformity and instability of the structure, and hence of the mechanical properties, may be controlled by means of artificial crystallization nuclei.Mekhanika polimerov, Vol. 1.
