Macromolecular Symposia: Spectroscopy of Partially Ordered Macromolecular Systems

The volume contains contributions to the international conference Spectroscopy of Partially Ordered Macromolecular Systems, Held on July 21-24, 2003, in Prague, Czech Republic The papers in the volume tackle most important aspects of examining partial order, either natural or induced by mechanical or chemical treatment of the system. The papers reproduce a wide variety of experimental and theoretical methods, mostly liquid and solid-state NMR including relaxation, pulsed field-gradient and imaging methods, as well as Vibrational, that is, infrared and Raman spectroscopy including infrared dichroism, confocal Raman microscopy and spectroscopy and spectroscopy in the near-infrared region.
