Chain Mobility and Progress in Medicine, Pharmaceuticals, and Polymer Science and Technology, Second Edition covers the core fundamentals and applications of chain movement, chain mobility, segmental mobility, segmental dynamics, and chain orientation in polymer science, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and other disciplines. The book starts by defining the principal terms, then looks at the work of Pierre-Gilles de Gennese and his 1991 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on polymer-macromolecular substances, the conditions under which chains move, and the effects of these movements on properties of materials, such as chain alignment, chain orientation, creation of free volume, dimensional stability, and more.

The book's final chapters provide insights on analytical methods of chain movement, chain movement phenomena in different polymers, and various fields of application. All concepts, findings, and applications are discussed in easy-to-understand language stripped of disciplinary slang, making the book accessible to researchers and practitioners across a variety of scientific fields.
