Doi M. Introduction to Polymer Physics

Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1996. - 120 pages.
Polymers are very large molecules consisting of many atoms covalently bonded like a chain. Their structure gives unique physical properties to polymer solutions. This outstanding textbook gives a clear and concise introduction to the modern theory of polymer physics. It describes basic concepts and methods and explains the statistical properties of the assembly of chain-like molecules; topics include scaling theory, concentration fluctuation, gels, and reptation. This is an ideal volume for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in polymer physics.Properties of an isolated polymer molecule
Concentrated solutions and melts
Polymer gels
Molecular motion of polymers in dilute solution
Molecular motion in entangled polymer systems
