Assumptions :(1) random walk : all bond angles are equally probable and uncorrelated to the directions of all other bonds in the chain (2) free rotation at bond junctions (3) no self-interactions or excluded volume effects two parameters :a = “statistical segment length” or local chain stiffness n =number of statistical segments Lcontour = na = fully extended length of chain 2. General Statistical Mechanical Formulas : W= number of chain conformations P(r) = probability function for a given component of length in a fixed direction in space~W S(r) = configurational entropy=kBlnP(r) A(r) = Helmholtz free energy =U(r)-TS(r) F(r) = -dA(r)/dr k(r) = dF(r)/dr 3. Gaussian Formulas : P(r) = 4b3r2/pexp(-b2r2) where b=[3/2na2]1/2 S(r) = kBln[4b3r2/pexp(-b2r2)] A(r) = [3kBT/2na2]r2 F(r) = -[3kBT/na2]r k(r) = 3kBT/na2 (1) 4. Non-Gaussian Formulas : F(r) = kBT/a L*(x) where : x=r/na=“extension ratio” (2) where :L(x)= “Langevin function”=coth(x-1/x) L*(x)= “inverse Langevin function”= 3x+(9/5)x3+(297/175)x5+(1539/875)x7 r(F) = Lcontourcoth(y-1/y) where : y=Fa/kBT (3) low stretches : Gaussianhigh stretches : F(r) = kBT/a (1-r/Lcontour)-1(4) 0
