This volume presents a selection of review papers from the International Symposium, Polymer Surface and Interfaces III held in Durham in July 1997. The papers cover a broad spectrum of surface science techniques and related applications and will appeal to all polymer and surface scientists, chemists, physicists and biologists in academia and industry.

Reviews of Volumes I and II ?The editors and the individual authors are to be congratulated for producing a book of a uniformly high standard?can be unreservedly recommended to chemists and materials scientists???Polymer ?Altogether a most useful addition to polymer science??Physics Bulletin ?The topics illustrate extremely well the wide variety of surface and interfacial aspects of polymer science??Endeavour ?A useful introduction to several aspects of polymeric interfaces??Trends in Polymer Science
