Physical Chemistry of Polymers - A Conceptual Introduction

This book introduces the concepts of physical chemistry of polymers in a format targeted for a blended-learning approach. It provides a basis to bridge polymer chemistry, which targets microscopic chain structures, and polymer engineering, which targets macroscopic material properties and functions. Topics covered are single chain statistics, multi-chain interactions, and chain dynamics, both from a viewpoint of structure, properties (mostly mechanical ones), and their interrelation. In all that, the author encourages the reader to think conceptually.

• Explains complex facts through simplifying models, diagrams, and illustrations



• Accessible to chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and physicists


• Tailored content for an interactive blended-learning format
