Polymer physics

Polymer physics is the branch of physics which deals with polymers, their fluctuations, mechanical properties, polymer structures and with the kinetics. Polymer physics encloses the physical properties, structure, and dynamics of polymers (both synthetic and naturally occurring) in various forms including semi-crystalline solids, glasses, elastomers, gels, melts, and solutions. Basic phenomena are of interest in accordance with the applications of polymers in technologies, such as optoelectronics, photovoltaic, coatings, composites, medicine, food and pharmacy and tissue engineering.
