Statistical Thermodynamics of Chain Molecules

Function Hub / Advanced Materials · 4 Credits

This course will introduce the statistical models to describe the equilibrium and dynamics of polymer chains in equilibrium. First, various models of polymer chains in statics (or equilibrium) will be described. Then the statics of polymer chain in solution will be introduced. Finally, the non-equilibrium polymer chain dynamics will be introduced through molecular dynamics simulation of various ensembles.
