Summary
Physical Chemistry of Polymers, now in its third and improved edition, introduces its concepts in a format targeted for a blended-learning approach. It provides a basis to bridge polymer chemistry, which targets microscopic structures, and polymer engineering, which targets macroscopic functions. Topics covered are single chain statistics, multi-chain interactions, and chain dynamics, both from a viewpoint of structure, properties (mostly mechanical ones), and their interrelation. In…

About The Author
Sebastian Seiffert
Sebastian Seiffert is a full professor for physical chemistry of polymers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. He obtained his PhD from Clausthal University of Technology in 2007, researching chain dynamics in semidilute polymer solutions and gels in the group of Wilhelm Oppermann.
After a year as a lecturer on polymer physical chemistry at Clausthal University of Technology (2008), Sebastian became a postdoc in the group of Dave Weitz at Harvard University (2009–2010), researching microfluidics and microgels.
Upon returning to Germany, he headed a junior research group at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (2011–2014). His first faculty appointment was as an associate professor for supramolecular polymer materials at Freie Universität Berlin (2014–2016). In 2016, he accepted a position in Mainz to take over the chair of physical chemistry of polymers.
Sebastian’s work has been honored with the Reimund Stadler Award of the German Chemical Society (GDCh), an annual award by the Association of German University Professors in Chemistry (ADUC), and a young investigator award by the Polymer Networks Group (PNG). He is also the author of several textbooks.
