Abstract
Polymers comprise a class of modern synthetic or biogenic materials, which we encounter permanently in our daily life. Thus, a thorough and detailed understanding of their properties beyond certain very general aspects is highly desirable. Since modern research and applications go significantly beyond the traditional view on “simple” polymers such as long chain molecules composed of many identical repeat units, the term polymer science is more and more replaced by soft matter science, indicating not only the huge variety of systems available but also the fact that typical energies or better energy densities are rather small and therefore thermal fluctuations are very important. Still the investigation of various chain-like polymers is an important starting point for the study of more elaborate chemical architectures.
