Opis

Macromolecules have become an essential part of the biological and industrial world. Elucidating the relationships between molecular structures and properties, Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules presents the principles of polymer science in terms of physical chemistry. Balancing both theoretical and experimental issues, this book provides detailed discussions of polymer solutions, equilibrium and transport properties, and the chemical structure of macromolecules. It emphasizes the importance of statistical measures of structure and molecular weight distributions. The text also explores the properties of macromolecular systems with electrical charges.
