Polymers are ubiquitous in modern society. This course provides a foundation for the rigorous understanding of polymers and polymeric materials from molecule to the macroscopic viewpoint. Single polymers, solutions, melts, crystalline and glassy states, gels and networks are developed sequentially to explain the fundamental, physical origin of mesoscale phase behavior and macroscale thermodynamic, mechanical, dynamic, and rheological properties.
