Riassunto

Market: Specialists and graduate students in polymer physics, statistical physics, physical chemistry of polymers, materials science, molecular biophysics, and chemical engineering. This introductory volume presents in-depth descriptions of fundamental concepts as well as key industrial applications in polymer physical chemistry and molecular biophysics. Topics include statistical theories of polymer solutions, melts, polymer liquid crystals, polymer networks, and polyelectrolytes; statistics of ideal chains; the viscoelastic behavior of polymer systems; and various features of biopolymers, DNA, and proteins.
