Publisher's Synopsis
Specifically aimed at chemists, this study represents an approach to the study of disordered systems, such as polymers and colloids, using the methods of fractal geometry. The text concentrates on problems involving complex and highly irregular objects and structures.;The techniques of fractal geometry are discussed in the context of geochemistry, chromatography, electrochemistry, polymerization, redox reactions and molecular diffusions and reactions. The work will be of benefit to physical and polymer chemists, geochemists, material scientists and physicists.
