...this book forms a fascinating addition to the literature in this field and will be of interest to physicists, chemists and materials scientists concerned with aspects of polymer structure and its dominant influence on polymer properties - RAPRA Abstracts

• Foreword by Sir Charles Frank. The size factor in phase transitions: its role in polymer crystal formation and wider implications - A Keller, M Hikosaka, S Rastogi, A Toda and P J Barham. Crystallographic and structural roots of variation in polymer structure and morphology - B Lotz. Lamellae and their organisation in melt-crystallized polymers - D C Bassett . Self-order in flexible non-mesogenic macromolecules - Y K Godovsky and N N Makarova. Spontaneous ordering in polymeric nematic liquids and solids - M Warner. Modelling of form in thermotropic polymers - A H Windle, H E Assender, M S Lavine. Local order in polymer glasses and melts - G R Mitchell, B Rosi-Schwartz and D J Ward.
