Why polymer chains in a melt are not random walks
J. P. Wittmer, P. Beckrich, J. Johner +4
A cornerstone of modern polymer physics is the `Flory ideality hypothesis' which states that a chain in a polymer melt adopts `ideal' random-walk-like conformations. Here we revisi…

Are polymer melts "ideal"?
J. P. Wittmer, P. Beckrich, F. Crevel +4
It is commonly accepted that in concentrated solutions or melts high-molecular weight polymers display random-walk conformational properties without long-range correlations between…
