Thermophysics of Polymers I Theory [Paperback]

here, Herbert Baur provides a simple description of the theory of thermophysics of polymers. In order to illustrate the theoretical skeleton, he only treats the simple, easily comprehensible problems of polymer physics, yet, in detail. The main points covered are: thermally excited conformation isomery of polymers; phonon gas of ideal polymer crystals; the dissipative thermo-mechanical behaviour of polymers, new aspects of viscoelastic behavior, glass transistion, and crystallization.Theoretical Aspects of Polymer Thermodynamics.- Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Simple Fluids.- Homogeneous Mixtures.- Heterogeneous Systems.- Homogeneous Elastic Systems.- Molecular Aspects of Some Equilibrium Properties of Polymers.- Systems with Macroscopically Relevant Internal Degrees of Freedom.- Phase Transitions.Herbert Baur provides a simple description of the theory of thermophysics of polymers.
