Developments in Block Copolymer Science and Technology

Ian W. Hamley is the editor of Developments in Block Copolymer Science and Technology, published by Wiley.

"The book is highly recommendable for graduate students and researchers in polymer science." (TPE Magazine, March 2010) "This book would be ideal for any polymerist working in the field. It would also serve as a graduate level text on the subject." (Materials & Manufacturing Processes, June/July 2006) "This book appears to be a useful and timely treatise discussing recent developments." (Polymer News)“This volume aims to bring together significant recent advances on this topic….” (Apollit, 2005)
