Description
With the mapping of the partition function graphs of the n-vector magnetic model in the n to 0 limit as the self-avoiding walks, the conformational
statistics of linear polymers was clearly understood in early seventies. Various models of disordered solids, percolation model in particular,
were also established by late seventies. Subsequently, investigations on the
statistics of linear polymers or of self-avoiding walks
in, say, porous medium or disordered lattices were started in early eighties. Inspite of the brilliant ideas forwarded and extensive
studies made for the next two decades, the problem is not yet completely solved in its generality. This intriguing and important problem
has remained since a topic of vigorous and active research.
This book intends to offer the readers a first hand and extensive review
of the various aspects of the problem, written by the experts in the respective fields. We hope, the contents of the book will provide
a valuable guide for researchers in statistical physics of polymers and will surely induce further research and advances towards a complete
understanding of the problem.
Audience
Research students and practitioners in (a) Statistical Physics, (b) Theoretical Physics, (c) Physical Chemistry, (d) Polymer Chemistry,
(e) Chemical Engineering, etc. Libraries of Basic Research Institutes. Industrial Laboratories on Polymer Chemistry, Chemical Engineering,
