关于高分子凝聚态物理学范式的思考

EXPLORATION OF THE PARADIGM OF CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS OF POLYMERS

每门成熟科学必然都存在一个范式,体现该门学科特殊的内在结构、基本理论框架,界定研究范围.但迄今为止,发展迅猛的高分子凝聚态物理学的范式尚未形成.本文梳理、总结了近二、三十年来高分子凝聚态物理学的重要成果,阐述并强调了软凝聚态物质、自相似、分形、标度律、关联效应、溶致凝聚、熵致相变、布朗运动、多体效应和对称破缺等基本概念及其意义,指出探究和凝练高分子凝聚态物理学的范式是摆在当前高分子物理学家面前亟待解决的问题.

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.
