In this first of two volumes aimed at a unified view of flexible-chain polymer liquids and networks, Graessley (emeritus professor, Princeton University) emphasizes fundamental principles and the molecular viewpoint in his explanations of the conceptual bases of the theories related to the universal attributes of the chainlike and flexible molecular structure of polymeric liquids. The book begins by summarizing the relevant background for small-molecule substances in the dense liquid state, then covers the random coil model, dilute solution characterization, dilute solution properties, polymer solutions and blends, network structure and elasticity, and network properties. While the book is written at the graduate level, technical terminology is kept at a minimum. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR More Reviews and Recommendations |
