About this book

This book introduces the concepts of physical chemistry of polymers in a format targeted for a blended-learning approach. It provides a basis to bridge polymer chemistry, which targets microscopic chain structures, and polymer engineering, which targets macroscopic material properties and functions. Topics covered are single chain statistics, multi-chain interactions, and chain dynamics, both from a viewpoint of structure, properties (mostly mechanical ones), and their interrelation. In all that, the author encourages the reader to think conceptually.

Explains complex facts through simplifying models, diagrams, and illustrations

Accessible to chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and physicists

Tailored content for an interactive blended-learning format

Offers a classification in teaching units, each for a 90-minute course.
Every teaching unit ends with multiple-choice questions.
Can be included in e-learning platforms for blended learning, just-in-time teaching and peer instruction approach.

Author / Editor information
