  • There is no other advanced textbook on polymer physics available.
  • The books called "polymer physics" are either for polymer chemists (dealing with physico-chemical aspects) or Engineers. -
  • Strobl's book is presenting "concepts" whereas others mainly focus on theoretical aspects or methods. -
  • The Springer-Verlag book by Eisele "Introduction to Poly- mer Physics", published 6/90 is written on a more basic level is not so concise and suited more for polymer chemists or engineers.

About this book

Polymer physics is one of the key courses not only in polymer science but also in material science. In his textbook Strobl presents the elements of polymer physics to the necessary extent in a very didactical way. His main focus is on the concepts and major phenomena of polymer physics, not just on mere physical methods. He has written the book in a personal style evaluating the concepts he is dealing with.
Every student in polymer and materials science will be happy to have it on his shelf.
