Features: This book is one of the graduate teaching series of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It comprehensively introduces the main development fields of polymer physics and the main research methods and techniques of modern polymer physics. The book consists of twenty-six chapters, published in two volumes. This is the first volume, which primarily introduces the main research fields of polymer physics, including polymer chain structure and aggregate structure, morphology of polymers, crystalline structure and liquid crystalline state, hybrid polymer materials, structural characteristics and applications of conductive polymers and biodegradable polymers, interfaces and compatibilization of polymer blend systems, as well as statistical thermodynamics, physical and chemical modification of polymers. The second volume primarily introduces the main research methods and techniques of modern polymer physics, including the basic principles and applications of atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, thermal analysis, surface energy spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, and optical microscopy in polymer research. Each chapter provides an in-depth yet accessible introduction to fundamental theories and basic principles, along with detailed practical examples. This book can serve as a teaching text for master's and doctoral students majoring in polymer science at universities and research institutions, as well as a reference for researchers and engineering technicians engaged in polymer science research and polymer material production.
