It is difficult to imagine how our highly evolved technological
society would function, or how life would even exist on our planet,
if polymers did not exist. The intensive study of polymeric
systems, which has been under way for several decades, has recently
yielded new insights into the properties of assemblies of these
complex molecules and the physical principles that govern their
behavior. These developments have included new concepts to describe
aspects of the many body behavior in these systems, microscopic
analyses that bring our understanding of these systems much closer
to our understanding of simple liquids and solids, and the
discovery of novel chemistry that these molecules can catalyze.
This special topic volume of Advances in Chemical Physics surveys
a number of these recent accomplishments. Supplemented with more
than 250 illustrations, it provides a significant, up-to-date
selection of papers by inter-nationally recognized researchers.
Topics include:
* Theory of Polyelectrolyte Solutions
* Star Polymers: Experiment, Theory, and Simulation
* Tethered Polymer Layers
* Living Polymers
* Transport and Kinetics in Electroactive Polymers
Self-contained, authoritative, and timely, Polymeric Systems makes
the cutting edge of polymer research available to scientists in
every branch of chemical physics.
