Molecular structure-property relationships

Dilute solution studies on such materials have been carried out in an attempt to gain some understanding of molecular structure/property relationships (6, 7, 17-19),... 

The actual knowledge of the basic molecular structure property relationships relies mainly on the availability of well defined linear architectures the di, tri- and multiblock copolymers. New and well controlled molecular structures could undoubtedly provide a deep understanding of the behavior of block copolymers and a more efficient mastering of their applications. ... 

In this paper it has been attempted to provide an introductory overview of some of the various nonlinear optical characterization techniques that chemists are likely to encounter in studies of bulk materials and molecular structure-property relationships. It has also been attempted to provide a relatively more detailed coverage on one topic to provide some insight into the connection between the macroscopic quantities measured and the nonlinear polarization of molecules. It is hoped that chemists will find this tutorial useful in their efforts to conduct fruitful research on nonlinear optical materials. 

In the rest of this chapter an attempt will be made to describe how this field developed, how polyphosphazenes are synthesized, how the system provides almost unprecedented opportunities for the design of new macromolecules, and how the molecular structure-property relationships have been developed to produce a wide range of advanced materials.
