The Cyclization of Polymer Chains in Solution

  • Chapter
Photophysical and Photochemical Tools in Polymer Science

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 182))

Abstract

The cyclization properties of polymer chains serve as a useful vehicle for examining various theoretical predictions about the polymer conformation and dynamics. Cyclization phenomena are particularly sensitive to excluded volume phenomena. This chapter provides a review of pertinent theoretical concepts and a description of experiments, based upon luminescence spectroscopy, which allow one to examine the predictions of the theory.
