I am sure the book is of great use for teaching, learning and researching into polymer physics. Materials World Any student with a working knowledge of calculus, physics, and chemistry will be able to read this book. The essential tools of the polymer physical chemist or engineer are derived in this book without skipping any steps ... In all cases, attention is restricted to concepts that are firmly entrenched in the field. The DKI Literature Database on Polymers The book is intended as a textbook, however it provides more than what is expected from a classical textbook for undergraduates.
