Multiscale Modelling of Polymers

Doros Theodorou received his Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1982, and his M.S. (1983) and Ph.D. (1985) degrees from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is currently Professor of Chemical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens. He has previously been Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley (1986-1995), and at the University of Patras (1995-2002). From 1986 to 1995 he also held an appointment at the Centre for Advanced Materials in the Division of Materials Sciences at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.Vlasis Mavrantzas received his Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1988 and his Ph.D. from the University of Delaware, Department of Chemical Engineering, in 1994. Currently he is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Patras. Since 2016, he is also employed as Dozent-Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zürich. From 1997 to 2003 he worked at FORTH-ICE/HT in Patras. He has previously been visiting researcher of the Dow Chemical Company and of the University of Tokyo.

A remarkable book which encapsulates the accumulated work of several generations of physicists, chemical engineers, and physical chemists. This is not merely a reference work but a lasting intellectual companion-one that both educates and inspires, and that will remain relevant for many years to come.
