Written by a chemical physicist specializing in macromolecular
physics, this book brings to life the definitive work of celebrated
scientists who combined multidisciplinary perspectives to pioneer
the field of polymer science. The author relates firsthand the
unique environment that fostered the experimental breakthroughs
underlying some of today's most widely accepted theories,
mathematical principles, and models for characterizing
macromolecules.
Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules employs the unifying
principles of physical chemistry to define the behavior, structure,
and intermolecular properties of macromolecules in both solution
and bulk states. The text explains the experimental techniques,
such as light scattering, and results used to support current
theories. Examining both equilibrium and transport properties, the
book describes the properties of dilute, semi-dilute, and
concentrated polymer solutions, including compressible fluids. It
then covers amorphous liquids and glasses, and polymer networks.
The final chapters discuss the properties of solutions containing
stiff-chain molecules and polyelectrolytes. Topics also include the
macromolecular nature of rubber elasticity, viscoelasticity, and
the distribution of relaxation times associated with the glass
transition.
By explaining the experimental and mathematical basis for the
theories and models used to define macromolecular behavior,
Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules demonstrates how these
techniques and models can be applied to analyze and predict the
properties of new polymeric materials.
