Polymer Physics Disentangled An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

Product Description

Polymers have transformed every aspect of human life, from disposable plastic bags and bottles, soft contact lenses and band-aids, to car tires and aerospace composites. To satisfy these demands, the chemical industry produces over 400 million tons of polymers each year. Moreover, all of us are made of biopolymers encoded in genes via DNA - a long-chain, double-helical, biological macromolecule. Polymer Physics Disentangled presents a comprehensive overview of the core concepts of polymer physics. It is intended for undergraduate and graduate students with a basic knowledge of calculus, physics, and chemistry, but it can also be used as a reference book by scientists and engineers working i…
