Description

This introductory textbook in polymer science emphasizes the role of molecular conformation and configuration in determining the physical behavior of polymers. It treats interactions between solvent molecules and polymer molecules, aspects of the bulk state, glass transition phenomenon, rubber elasticity, creep and stress relaxation and the mechanical behavior of polymers. The book also contains several classroom demonstrations and problem sets after each chapter.
