Using principles of physical chemistry, this book discusses structural, dynamic, and optical properties of macromolecules in both solution and bulk states. 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. The book demonstrates the experimental techniques, such as light scattering, and models used to support current theories and predict the properties of new polymeric materials. Topics also include solutions with stiff-chain molecules and with polyelectrolytes, rubber elasticity, viscoelasticity, and the distribution of relaxation times associated with the glass transition.
