Polymer morphology refers to the order within macromolecular solids and the structural constitution on the levels from nanoscale to a submicron and micron scale. The morphology plays an important role in the processing and application of polymeric materials. It embraces the processes of formation such as crystallization, deformation, and so on and the consequences for material properties as well as product performance.

Many books have been written on different particular aspects of polymer morphology. However, this book includes the basic principles and methods for morphological characterization, followed by a comprehensive understanding of polymer morphology, properties, and processing in a range of polymeric materials. It is composed of two parts: I. Principles and Methods of Characterization and II. Morphology, Properties, and Processing. Part I starts with an overview and prospects of polymer morphology, and then presents a detailed account of the principles and methods that are most used for investigation of polymer morphology. Morphologyproperty relationships are critical in the processing and applications of polymeric materials, which are addressed in Part II. The way in which the material is processed is a key determinant of the morphology and resulting properties. Understanding the morphology and the processes of its formation is essential in order to achieve the desired properties of a polymeric material in a certain application. A sampling of work in this area is also provided in Part II. I hope that it will not only serve as a useful textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students but also as a concise handbook for researchers in academia and engineers in related industries.

I express my appreciation and respects to all the contributors for their commitment, patience, and cooperation. Finally, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the staff of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., especially Jonathan T. Rose who invited me to edit this comprehensive book and provided helpful support, and also Purvi Patel and Amanda Amanullah for her assistance during the edition.
