Theoretical and Mathematical Models in Polymer Research

In this book, Professor Alexander Grosberg, one of the pioneers and leaders in the field of theoretical polymer science has selected the most important topics within polymer science and matched them with experts whocan clearly present the state of the art of each.Using this book readers will learn the fundamental concepts, as well as the techniques that are currently employed on the frontier of science.

• Statistical mechanics of semiflexible chains
• Polymer absorption
• Topological constraints
• Polymer reaction kinetics
• Replica field theory of polymer networks

Using this book, readers will learn the fundamental concepts, as well as the techniques that are currently employed on the frontier of science.

Alexander Grosberg is the Head of the Theoretical Physics Department at the Institute of Chemical Physics in the Russian Academy of Sciences of Moscow. He is an expert in the theoretical physics of polymers, complex fluids and biophysics. Dr. Grosberg is currently a Visiting Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is the author of more than 100 scientific publications.
