Synopsis

This text integrates the two fields of biochemistry and polymer chemistry, providing readers with the basic knowledge of both biophysical chemistry and physical polymer chemistry. It introduces important terms and covers basic structure properties and the relationships of macromolecules. Experimental techniques are described and end-of-chapter problems and references are also included.

About this title

Review

"...a useful addition to the libraries of scientists, researchers, and engineers working in this field...could also serve as an undergraduate text in a polymers or chemistry program." ( Materials and Manufacturing Processes, August 2006)

"...a modern overview of polymer physical chemistry...a valuable addition to any polymer scientist′s library, and it is hard to imagine anyone not getting a lot of useful information and inspiration from reading it." (Polymer News)

From the Back Cover

Integrated coverage of polymers and biological macromolecules, thoroughly revised and expanded

Since the publication of the first edition of Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules, new developments in the field have greatly advanced the study of large molecules. These advancements include the technical improvement of measuring instruments as well as the involvement of new disciplines such as materials science and structural biology.

The Second Edition of Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules takes these changes into account while continuing the uniquely integrated approach to polymers and biological macromolecules taken by the original text. It explores fully the principles of macromolecular chemistry, methods for determining molecular weight and configuration of molecules, the structure of macromolecules, and their separations. New and thoroughly revised chapters cover topics including:

• Liquid crystals
• Rubber elasticity
• Fourier series
• Protein molecules
• Nuclear magnetic resonance
• X–ray crystallography

This comprehensive resource features end–of–chapter problems and references. In providing an integrated treatment of polymer chemistry and biophysical chemistry, the book reflects the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of this subject. Advanced students and professionals in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry will all find Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules, Second Edition to be a timely, carefully structured presentation of the material.
