Polymer physics<br />
Polymer/solvent interaction (varies with temp.) dictates three<br />
situations:<br />
1 polymer ”stretched” ⇒ ”good solvent”<br />
2 ideal r<strong>and</strong>om walk ⇒ ”<strong>the</strong>ta condition”<br />
3 collapses <strong>to</strong> form compact globule<br />
modeling this behavior ...<br />
