Description
A theoretical book utilizing statistical mechanics in the study of long-wave length properties of polymers utilizing simple models. Predictive statistical mechanical theories of polymers are of great practical interest in technological applications and in understanding biological utilization of polymer molecules. The book also provides an introduction to polymer applications of renormalization group methods, as well as to the methods themselves.
