Ebook The physics of polymers: Concepts for understanding their structures and behavior - Gert Strobl

Ebook "The physics of polymers: Concepts for understanding their structures and behavior" presents the elements of this important branch of materials science in the style of a series of lecture. The main focus lays on the concepts, rather than on experimental techniques and theoretical methods. Written for graduate students of physics, materials science and chemical engineering, as well as for researchers in academia and industry entering this field, the book introduces and discusses the basic phenomena that lead to the peculiar physical properties of polymeric systems.
