Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The quantitative theory of strong collapse of a polymer gel based on the concept of the crumpled globule state of a nonphantom polymer chain is proposed. The theoretical explanation of the experimental results of T. Tanaka et al.⁵ on equilibrium gel swelling for the strong collapse regime is given. It is shown that the theory is in a good agreement with experimental data. Some applications of the concept of the crumpled globule state to the general problems concerning the equilibrium properties of nonphantom networks are also discussed briefly.
