Dropping out: physical chemistry

Article Abstract:

Whitney White and Pierre Wiltzius, two scientists in Murray Hill, NJ are studying the way a mixture of two polymers separate at various temperatures. The findings from this research may be used to develope new liquid-crystal display systems. The physical chemistry of the phenomenon is discussed.
