Relaxation mechanisms research background

The monograph contains the fundamentals of the theory and reflects the modern situation in understanding the relaxation behaviour of a polymer solutions and melts. The contents of the monograph can be related to the fields of molecular physics, fluid mechanics, polymer physics and materials science. I have tried to present topics in a self-contained way that makes the monograph a suitable reference book for professional researchers. I hope that the book will also prove to be useful to graduate students of above mentioned specialities who have some background in physics and mathematics. It would provide material for a one or two semester graduate-level course in polymer dynamics.
