Polymer Physics Disentangled: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

Polymers have transformed every aspect of human life, from disposable plastic bags and bottles, soft contact lenses and band-aids, to car tires and aerospace composites. To satisfy these demands, the chemical industry produces over 400 million tons of polymers each year. Moreover, all of us are made of biopolymers encoded in genes via DNA - a long-chain, double-helical, biological macromolecule.

Polymer Physics Disentangled presents a comprehensive overview of the core concepts of polymer p...
