On the Deformation Behaviour of Collapsed Polymers
Open accessAbstract
A scaling analysis of the deformation behaviour of a collapsed linear coil in a poor solvent is presented. The elastic response of an ideal coil is found for strong deformations. The response to weaker deformations is dominated by the surface free energy: for weak deformations linear response is expected. Intermediate deformations result in nonlinear response. In particular, the restoring force, f , for intermediate stretching scales as f ∼ L 0 and as f ∼ L -2 for compression, where L is the globule size along the direction of the force. The novel f ∼ L 0 regime is reminiscent of a first-order phase transition from a collapsed globule to stretched coil.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
