Qi-ye Wu. EXPLORATION OF THE PARADIGM OF CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS OF POLYMERS[J]. Acta Polymerica Sinica, 2013,(2):149-153. DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1105.2013.12271.
Each mature science contains inevitably a paradigm
it gives expression to the special structure
the basic theoretical frame and the study range of this science.But a paradigm for the condensed matter physics of polymers is so far not formed.In this paper the important successes of condensed matter physics of polymers in recent 20~30 years were summarized; a series of notions e.g. soft matter
self similarity
fractal
scaling laws
correlative effect
lyotropic condensation
entropy induced phase transition
Brownian movement
multi-body effects
symmetry breaking and their importance were interpreted and emphasized.And it is indicated
that the summarizing of paradigm of condensed matter physics of polymers becomes already an urgent work for polymer physicists.
