Fluorescence Studies of Polymer Containing Systems

This volume describes the application of fluorescencespectroscopy in polymer research. The first chapters outline the basicprinciples of the conformational and dynamic behavior of polymers and reviewthe problems of polymer self-assembly. Subsequent chapters introduce the theoreticalprinciples of advanced fluorescence methods and typical examples of theirapplication in polymer science. The book closes with several reviews of variousfluorescence applications for studying specific aspects of polymer-solution behavior.It is a useful resource for polymerscientists and experts in fluorescence spectroscopy alike, facilitating theircommunication and cooperation.
