There had been a number of recent advan- ces in this field, and given the considerable interest in these new polymeric materials, we thought such a meeting would be well received both by industry and academia. We wanted it to contain a wide range of background science and technology and also up to date recent advances in the field. It became clear as the discus- sion progressed that the experts in the field were scattered over the length and breadth of Europe and North America and thus the cost of bringing them together for a summer school would necessi- tate a high registration fee which would deter many of the research workers we wished to attract. The NATO Advanced Study Institute programme enables a subject to be covered in depth and by giving generous funds to cover lecturers' costs ensures that a wide spectrum of research workers can attend. We decided to apply to NATO and this book contains the results of our request. The ASI was funded under the 'Double-Jump' Programme which is not a new Olympic event but a way of supporting courses on sub- jects of direct industrial interest. The Institute was also backed by donations from several companies and approximately half those attending were from industrial organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284158767255,"sku":"9789401087551","price":3639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789401087551.webp?v=1769280354","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/polymer-blends-and-mixtures-9789401087551","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
