Statistical Physics of Macromolecules (Aip Series in Polymers and Complex Materials)

From Book News, Inc.
An introduction to the whole field of the physical theory of polymers, which are both excellent materials for many technological purposes and the key element of biological machinery. The revised and updated English translation of a notable Russian textbook, its treatment extends from in-depth descriptions of fundamental concepts to key industrial applications in various fields of polymer physical and biophysical chemistry. This English edition also features selections on important recent advances in such areas as statistical theory of DNA gel-electrophoresis, polymers at interfaces, and dynamics of concentrated solutions of branched polymers.
