Abstract
In this chapter, the main findings of fluorescence methodologies to monitor polymerization processes and to characterize thermal relaxations both in bulk and at the polymer/particle interface as well as the uses of fluorescence lifetime distributions and several imaging techniques to characterize the morphology and phase distribution of polymer blends are presented. Several examples comprising acrylic, vinylic, and epoxy systems are discussed.
