Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780824794675)

This book relates firsthand the unique environment that fostered experimental breakthroughs underlying some of today's most widely accepted theories, mathematical principles, and models for characterizing macromolecules. The author uses principles of physical chemistry to describe structural, dynamic, and optical properties of macromolecules in both solution and bulk states. He also explains how to apply experimental techniques, such as light scattering, and models for predicting the properties of new polymeric materials. Coverage includes amorphous liquids and glasses, polyelectrolytes, stiff-chain molecules, viscoelasticity, and the distribution of relaxation times associated with the glass transition.
