Helical Wormlike Chains in Polymer Solutions
This book presents the "helical wormlike chain" model – a general model for both flexible and semiflexible polymer chains. It explains how statistical-mechanical, hydrodynamic, and dynamic theories of their solution properties can be developed on the basi

Preface
A rather large amount of material has been accumulated in the field during the past nearly two decades since the publication of the first edition by the present senior author in 1997. The new material may be divided into three groups. The first contains mainly experimental results successively obtained for static, transport, and dynamical properties, the second deals with ring polymers (including circular DNA) studied both experimentally and theoretically with the use of Monte Carlo simulation, and the third concerns such simulations on excluded-volume effects, including those in polyelectrolytes. These results and some additional descriptions were included in the chapters (except Chaps. 4 and 10) of the present edition, whose Chap. 9 was newly added. This work was done under joint authorship with Professor T. Yoshizaki. On that occasion, the authors also attempted their efforts to correct errors in the first edition as much as possible. Finally, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance of Dr. D. Ida who prepared newly some of the tables and figures and of the author and subject indexes and corrected some of the errors.
