Preface
This
volume contains papers presented at Polymer Networks
2002, the 16th
Polymer Networks Group Meeting, held in Autrans, France,
from 2nd to 6th September 2002. The conference was
organized under the auspices of IUPAC, and was sponsored
by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique,
the Ministère de la Recherche, the Comissariat
à l'Energie Atomique and by the Université
Joseph Fourier de Grenoble. Financial support from the
Région Rhône-Alpes, the Mairie of Grenoble
and Nestlé of Switzerland is gratefully acknowledged.
The
contents of this volume are a reflection of the topics
of the conference, the central theme of which was Functional
Networks and Gels. Theoretical papers address such questions
as photo-contraction, gels in contact with surfaces
and hyperelasticity in filled networks, as well as formation
and structure-property relationships of networks and
gels, including modelling approaches. Several experimental
papers are devoted to the changes in the properties
due to filler effects and to the osmotic behaviour of
special networks. Functional network topics covered
in the contributions are wide-ranging, dealing with
encapsulation of magnetic and conducting moieties in
networks, biological and biomedical applications of
reversible physical gels, high-swelling networks for
use as super-absorbing materials, and environmentally
responsive hydrogels.
I
warmly thank the authors of papers and the colleagues
who helped to review them, and also the staff of Macromolecular
Symposia for their support. I owe deep gratitude to
the members of the Advisory Board as well as to the
Organizing Committee of the meeting, F. Ehrburger-Dolle,
A.-M. Hecht, J.-F. Legrand, I. Morfin, B. Pépin-Donat
and C. Rochas. Their contribution to the culinary, cultural,
organizational and scientific (in alphabetic order)
aspects of the meeting was invaluable. Without their
constant help the meeting could never have been held.
