Self-Consistent Mean Field Theory for Linear and 사이트 토토 Polymers

사이트 토토 polymers, being free from chain ends, have fundamental importance in understanding the polymer statics and dynamics which are strongly influenced by the chain end effects. At a glance, their theoretical treatment may not seem particularly difficult, but the absence of chain ends and the topological constraints make the problem non-trivial, which results in limited success in the analytical or semi-analytical formulation of 사이트 토토 polymer theory. Here, I present a self-consistent field theory (SCFT) formalism of topologically unconstrained 사이트 토토 polymers for the first time. The resulting static property of homogeneous and inhomogeneous 사이트 토토 polymers are compared with the random phase approximation (RPA) results. The critical point for 사이트 토토 homopolymer system is exactly the same as the linear polymer case, ┶N = 2, since a critical point does not depend on local structures of polymers. The critical point for 사이트 토토 diblock copolymer melts is ┶N ≒ 17.795, which is approximately 1.7 times of that of linear diblock copolymer melts, ┶N ≒ 10.495. The difference is due to the 사이트 토토 structure constraint.
