Editorial Reviews

"Block copolymers have been studied for several decades, a period that has been punctuated by a number of books and review articles on the topic. Despite this history, the subject is far from exhausted and, if anything, has experienced a strong renewal in recent years. This has been spearheaded by a vast variety of new block copolymers, the important development of powerful visualization techniques, AFM in particular, that have become readily available, as well as motivating visions of nanotechnological applications.

In this context, this new two-volume book, with its focus on the most recent developments in the area, is timely. ...

Overall, the emphasis is on the "what" and the "how", rather than the "why", indicating that a great deal of understanding must still be forthcoming. ...

These two volumes should be considered indispensable by any newcomer to the subject and will constitute a useful reference for many already in the field."
