1. Polymer Single Crystal Fibres --; 2. High-Strength/High-Modulus Structures Based on Flexible Macromolecules: Gel-Spinning and Related Processes --; 3. Spinning from Lyotropic and Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Systems --; 4. Structural Studies of Fibres Obtained from Lyotropic Liquid Crystals and Mesophase Pitch --; 5. Structure and Properties of Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Copolyesters --; 6. Segmental Orientation and Chain Relaxation of Polymers by Spectroscopic Techniques: a Molecular Approach to Polymer Viscoelasticity --; 7. Oriented Polyamides.

The last four years since the publication of the first of this series have seen further striking developments in both the science and technology of oriented polymers. In particular, polymers possessing very high degrees of molecular orientation are now quite commonplace, and this is reflected by the inclusion of five chapters dealing with ultra-high modulus polyethylene fibres, oriented liquid crystalline polymers (both lyotropics and thermo tropics) and polydiacetylene single crystal fibres. At the same time there is continuing interest in the structure and properties of less highly oriented polymers and in the mechanisms of deformation in polymers. It is therefore good to have these themes represented also. I should like to thank the contributors for adhering to a rather tight time schedule, and the publishers for their cooperation, so that this book can provide up-to-date reviews of the state of the art in a rapidly moving area of polymer science.
