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

摘要：半结晶聚合物由于其高性能和低成本的特性而受到当今聚合物界的特别关注。 研究表明，控制结晶形态可以大大改善性能。 新的和更强大的表征技术的出现，导致了新的知识的结构演变，以及在半结晶聚合物的变形过程。 这使得理论工作者能够对半结晶聚合物的变形和结构演化进行纳米尺度的建模。本次研讨会的主要目的是突出最新的研究，并帮助塑造在这一领域的未来研究方向。

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.
