Physical Properties of Macromolecules

Physical Properties of Macromolecules integrates years of detailed research in physical properties of polymers with more traditional classroom topics. The book encompasses solid-state morphology and physical chemistry of amorphous and semicrystalline polymers, viscoelastic behavior, relaxation processes, and macromolecule-metal complexes. The book brings a new approach to polymer physical chemistry instruction, as it relies on many developments and conclusions from the author's extensive research. It teaches by example, including all necessary derivations, developments, and problems solutions with detailed analysis. The result is a unique volume invaluable to students, instructors, and professionals in the field. "This resource serves as the ideal companion for government laboratories, industrial research scientists, engineers and professionals in polymer science fields who are interested in fully grasping all aspects of physical polymer science".
