Talk:Polymer physics

Untitled
I just moved the part I had written on the ideal chain to ideal chain.

The solvent and temperature effect section should be joined with the volume exclusion section since it is in fact volume exclusion that causes the 3/5 exponent in Rg. It's well explained in the Rubinstein and Colby book...

Scope of article -
polymer science says "Polymer physics is concerned with the bulk properties of polymer materials and engineering applications." but this article seems to take a much wider view and include molecular level statistics - eg persistence length. Should some content be moved elsewhere ? - Rod57 (talk) 15:14, 20 December 2019 (UTC)


 * You'd be hardpressed to find a modern polymer physics textbook that doesn't include extensive analysis of the molecular statistics of polymers. It's likely that polymer science is referring (albeit vaguely) to the bulk quantities that can be derived from statistical physics. I will edit the article to clarify this point.
