Abstract

The theoretical and experimental data on the physical properties of comblike macromolecules are surveyed. Stiffening of comblike macromolecules in solution and on the surface; spontaneous curvature of adsorbed macromolecules resulting from the jump of side chains; rod-globule transitions in adsorbed macromolecules induced by various physical factors; self-organization in the systems of amphiphilic macromolecules; and certain other effects are considered.
