Summary

Scattering methods as important tools for the characterization of the structure and dynamics of polymers provided the theme for the 60th meeting in the series of the Prague Meetings on Macromolecules held in July, 2001. Highlights included discussion of the following topics:Light, X-ray, and neutron scattering techniques Applications of these methods to a variety of polymeric materials and systems Papers based on the main lectures, special lectures, and panel discussions presenting recent research on these topics have been collected and are available in this volume of Macromolecular Symposia.
