The field of polymer science has advanced and expanded considerably in recent years, encompassing broader ranges of materials and applications. In this book, Fumihiko Tanaka unifies the subject matter, pulling together research to provide an updated and systematic presentation of polymer association and thermoreversible gelation, one of the most rapidly developing areas in polymer science. Starting with a clear exposition of the fundamental laws of polymer physics, subsequent chapters discuss a new theoretical model that combines thermodynamic and rheological theory. Recent developments in...

This book presents a cross section of the current research on structure formation and molecular motion in self-organizing macromolecular fluids. Its main purpose is to provide a clear picture of the subject by establishing theoretical foundations. The topics covered include microphase separation of block polymers, chemical and physical gelations, polymer adsorption, and polymers in random media and in external fields; all are treated from a unified viewpoint as molecular ordering in space and time. The contributions concentrate on materials and concepts that have been important in setting the...
