CHEMENG 466. Polymer Physics
Concepts and applications in the equilibrium and dynamic behavior of polymeric
fluids. Topics include solution thermodynamics, scaling concepts,
semiflexibility, characterization of polymer size (light scattering, osmotic
pressure, size-exclusion chromatography, intrinsic viscosity),
viscoelasticity, rheological measurements, polyelectrolytes, liquid crystals, biopolymers, and gels.
