The work outlines scaling concepts and self-similarity laws to describe the complex physical conformations and dynamics of long flexible polymer chains. De Gennes's theoretical frameworks draw mathematical analogies between macromolecular behavior and the critical phenomena of phase transitions unifying polymer chemistry with the rigorous principles of statistical mechanics. Tan cloth covers embossed w/ a gold-gilt title on the spine and front cover house the text which is illustrated throughout with black-and-white figures and mathematical diagrams. The publisher's dust jacket features a minimalist geometric design of interlocking circular rings on the front panel and carries catalogs for Cornell University Press's chemistry lectureships on the rear panel. A previous owner signature on the front free endpaper provides a provenance link to Wake Forest University biophysicist and Professor of Physics George Holzwarth. Having pioneered research in macromolecular dynamics polymer physics and DNA gel electrophoresis Holzwarth's ownership connects this volume directly to the active scientific community that applied de Gennes's scaling equations during the textbook's initial 1979 release. Cornell University Press first published the volume in Ithaca New York in late 1979. Pierre-Gilles de Gennes who subsequently received the 1991 Nobel Prize in Physics for his generalizations of order phenomena in complex matter composed the work as a synthesis of contemporary polymer theories. The publication date coincided with rapid developments in neutron scattering and light spectroscopy experiments which validated de Gennes's scaling equations. Cornell University Press hardcover
