Class Objectives
/Class Outline
It is well known that polymer-based soft materials have the feature that can easily change by macroscopic deformation, heat transfer, material transfer, and electric chemical processing. It means that mechanical, dielectric, and electric responses of polymer-based soft materials are controlled by spatial non-equilibrium structures determined by the history of the material processing. These phenomena are complex, but ubiquitous in material production and manufacturing processes. In this lecture, I would like to present an aspect of the scaling treatment of polymers as one of the methods for describing the phenomena for higher-order and complex soft materials.
