From structures to applications

The title of this book contains the phrase from structures to applications . Any application is based on a certain property or properties. In turn, macroscopic properties are determined by an interplay of molecular structures and interactions see Fig. 1.10. There is an interesting relationship between the vertices of the triangle in Fig. 1.10 knowledge of any two vertices completely determines the third. Interactions depend on what interacts with what, and hence are related to molecular structures. We have discussed structures of PLCs in some detail, culminating in Table 1.1. To conclude this chapter, let us now make a list of essential properties of PLCs. 

Important properties of PLCs have been summarized before and also discussed by Witt. At least the following should be listed
