Brief Biography：

Bernard Lotz is Director of Research (Emeritus) at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), in the Institut Charles Sadron in Strasbourg. His major research interests include the phase transitions and mostly the structure and morphology of crystalline polymers and biopolymers. The different length scales are involved:  from the chain conformation and the structure at the unit-cell level to the spherulite and bulk morphology in both their spontaneous state or as modified by appropriate additives. He is the author or coauthor of over 300 research papers and book chapters.
