Physical Chemistry of Polymers: A Conceptual Introduction

Physical Chemistry of Polymers, now in its third and improved edition, introduces its concepts in a format targeted for a blended-learning approach. It provides a basis to bridge polymer chemistry, which targets microscopic structures, and polymer engineering, which targets macroscopic functions. Topics covered are single chain statistics, multi-chain interactions, and chain dynamics, both from a viewpoint of structure, properties (mostly mechanical ones), and their interrelation. In all th...
