Description
This book illustrates the recent picture of statistical physics of polymers and polymer solutions that emerges from some paradigms of
contemporary science joint together. Among its principal aims are discussing the consequences of a novel self-diffusion theory, which
benefits from an extension towards relativistic-like principles, and the generalization of usual concepts met in polymer science in terms
of geometry alone. The monograph gives the whole fundamentals necessary to handle the view proposed, which is set in the final chapters.
All the formers see about to provide the reader with a comprehensive treatation of the necessary fundamentals of classical, relativistic,
quantum and statistical mechanics. Among the most important mechanical theories ever developed, a chapter on the Brownian movement and
another on macromolecules prepare the ground that is specific to face universality and scaling behaviors in polymer solutions. The scope
of the book is therefore two-fold: On the one hand, it wishes to involve the readers and scholars into a new research on polymer physics
and chemistry. On the other, to get close chemical physicists and physical chemists to disciplines which, traditionally, are far from
their direct fields of interest.
