Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Polymer
  • Thermodynamics
  • Condensed matter physics

His primary areas of study are Polymer, Thermodynamics, Chemical physics, Condensed matter physics and Bilayer. The Polymer study combines topics in areas such as Lubrication, Gyration, Steric effects, Polymer science and Polymer chemistry. Philip Pincus combines subjects such as Renormalization, Poisson's equation, Effective nuclear charge, Colloidal crystal and Crystal with his study of Thermodynamics.

His work carried out in the field of Chemical physics brings together such families of science as Solvent, Counterion, Physical chemistry, Stereochemistry and Scaling. His Scaling research focuses on Layer and how it connects with Electrolyte. His study in the field of Relaxation, Ferromagnetism and Spin wave also crosses realms of De Haas–van Alphen effect.

His most cited work include:

  • Charge renormalization, osmotic pressure, and bulk modulus of colloidal crystals: Theory (694 citations)
  • Charge renormalization, osmotic pressure, and bulk modulus of colloidal crystals: Theory (694 citations)
  • Colloid stabilization with grafted polyelectrolytes (669 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Philip Pincus spends much of his time researching Chemical physics, Polymer, Condensed matter physics, Thermodynamics and Polyelectrolyte. His work focuses on many connections between Chemical physics and other disciplines, such as Counterion, that overlap with his field of interest in Phase transition. In Polymer, Philip Pincus works on issues like Polymer chemistry, which are connected to Polystyrene and Monomer.

His study in Chain extends to Condensed matter physics with its themes. His Thermodynamics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mean field theory, Persistence length, Phase diagram and Mica. His Polyelectrolyte study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ionic strength, Brush, Viscosity and Debye length.

He most often published in these fields:
