This book introduces the concepts of physical chemistry of polymers in a format targeted for a blended-learning approach.

It provides a basis to bridge polymer chemistry, which targets microscopic chain structures, and polymer engineering, which targets macroscopic material properties and functions. Topics covered are single chain statistics, multi-chain interactions, and chain dynamics, both from a viewpoint of structure, properties (mostly mechanical ones), and their interrelation.

In all that, the author encourages the reader to think conceptually. Explains complex facts through simplifying models, diagrams, and illustrations. Accessible to chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and physicists. Tailored content for an interactive blended-learning format.
