Thermophysics of Polymers I

Focusing on the theory of thermophysics in polymers, the book presents clear explanations of fundamental concepts through straightforward problems in polymer physics. Key topics include thermally excited conformation isomerism, the phonon gas in ideal polymer crystals, and the dissipative thermo-mechanical behavior of polymers. Additionally, it explores new insights into viscoelastic behavior, glass transition, and crystallization, providing a comprehensive understanding of these essential aspects of polymer science.
