Soft Matter Physics,
Masao Doi, Oxford University Press (2013) page
1-257
The
book provides a comprehensive introduction to soft matter (what it is, and what
are the characteristics of such materials), and also provides the reader with
the physical basis for understanding and discussing such characteristics in
more detail. Many basic concepts, which are required in advanced courses of
condensed matter physics, such as coarse graining, scaling, phase separation,
order-disorder transition, Brownian motion, and fluctuation-dissipation
theorem, are explained in detail with various forms of soft matter used as
examples.
The Theory of
Polymer Dynamicc
Masao Doi and S. F. Edwards
Oxford University Press (1986) page 1-391
This book provides a comprehensive account of the modern theory for the
dynamical properties of polymer solutions. The theory has undergone dramatic
evolution over the last two decades due to the introduction of new methods and
concepts that have extended the frontier of theory from dilute solutions in
which polymers move independently to concentrated solutions where many polymers
converge. Among the properties examined are viscoelasticity, diffusion, dynamic
light scattering, and electric birefringence. Nonlinear viscoelasticity is
discussed in detail on the basis of molecular dynamical models. The book
bridges the gap between classical theory and new developments, creating a
consistent picture of polymer solution dynamics over the entire concentration
range.
Introduction to Polymer Physics
Masao Doi, Oxford University Press (1995) page 1-120
Polymers are very large molecules consisting of many atoms covalently bonded like a chain. Their structure gives unique physical properties to polymer solutions. This outstanding textbook gives a clear and concise introduction to the modern theory of polymer physics. It describes basic concepts and methods and explains the statistical properties of the assembly of chain-like molecules; topics include scaling theory, concentration fluctuation, gels, and reptation. This is an ideal volume for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in polymer physics. (This book is a translation of the Polymer physics part in the above book.)
