Symposium on Structure, Deformation and Fracture in Semi-Crystalline Polymers, ACS 2002

摘要：半晶态聚合物因其高性能和低成本的特点，在当今的聚合物领域引起了极大的兴趣。研究表明，控制晶型可以大大改善材料的性能。新的和更强大的表征技术的出现使人们对半结晶聚合物的结构演变和变形过程有了新的认识。这使得理论家能够对半结晶聚合物的变形和结构演变进行纳米尺度的建模。这次研讨会的主要目的是突出最新的研究，并帮助确定这一领域未来研究的方向。

ABSTRACT: Semicrystalline polymers are of particular interest to the polymer community today because of their high performance and low cost characteristics. It has been shown that control of crystalline morphology can result in greatly improved properties. The emergence of new and more powerful characterization techniques has led to new knowledge of structure evolution as well as deformation processes in semi-crystalline polymers. This allows theoreticians to perform nanometer scale modeling of deformation and structural evolution of semicrystalline polymers. The main objective of this symposium is to highlight the latest research and help shape the direction of future research in this field.
