Polymer Structures and Properties
This group studies the structural concepts of materials, and also the
evaluation methods for coagulated states of molecules; it then expands
the specialized concepts of polymers, accompanying the controls of their
structures by thermodynamical, mechanical, or electromagnetic methods.
