Emphasizes the relationships between molecular structures and macroscopic properties of polymers. Structural aspects include chain conformation, configuration, and the crystalline and amorphous states. Discusses physical, mechanical and dynamic properties with a focus on solution and phase behavior, transitions of bulk polymers, and rubber and viscoelastic behavior. Recommended prerequisite: an intro-level polymer course.
