Completely revised and updated, this second edition on the physical properties of polymers includes the latest developments in these fast-moving areas - rubber elasticity, the glassy state and the glass transition, viscoelasticity and flow in polymer melts and concentrated solutions, the crystalline state, and spectroscopic characterization of polymers. Two new chapters cover the mesomorphic state and scattering techniques. The book presents fundamental background information, recent developments and unsolved problems. It also provides an introduction to basic concepts and detailed descriptions of current topics of importance. It should be of interest to polymer physical chemists, polymer physicists, polymer engineers and all scientists whose work involves polymers.
