Description
The material of this volume is arranged into four sections: introductory material for the theoretical description of chain molecules and experimental observations frequently addressed by rotational isomeric state techniques; the development of the rotational isomeric state model from simple alkanes; the scope of polymer types that can be treated with this model; and the scope of types of conformation-dependent physical properties that can be treated. Scores of problems are included, plus a FORTRAN program that performs calculations for the most important property characteristic ratio.
