This book introduces theoretical methods and experimental techniques to analyze physical polymer chemistry. It opens with a description of fundamental concepts and then describes the conformational characteristics of various polymers, including different heteroatoms and chemical species. The author then moves onto the applications of density functional theory polymer crystals and structure-property relationships. It concludes by bringing these issues together in their impact on areas like biodegradability, environmental friendliness, structure-property relationship, and molecular design.
