About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Kawakatsu (Tohoku Univ., Japan) introduces the theoretical work behind the statistical mechanics of polymers and complex fluids. … The author uses frequent examples to reinforce the results of the derivations. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (E. Kincanon, CHOICE, Vol. 42 (5), January, 2005)
"The author does a fine job with this challenging material. The text is concise, logical and written with a clarity that is particularly impressive … . It is complemented by a wealth of figures … . Intended as a teaching aid rather than a comprehensive survey, the volume is well suited to its target audience of graduate and advanced undergraduate students with physics backgrounds. However, it is also likely to be valuable to a wider readership of polymer chemists and engineers … ." (A Uhlherr, Polymer International, Issue: 54, 2005)
"This particular book … was conceived as an introduction to the concepts as well as theoretical methods used in contemporary research in the physics of polymers and complex fluids. … All in all this is an interesting and useful book. … this book seems to be almost a perfect basis for an advanced graduate course of polymer physics and I would certainly recommend it as such." (R. Podgornik, Journal of Statistical Physics, Vol. 122 (2), 2006)
