Long-range intramolecular interaction

Intermolecular Interactions and Long-Range Intramolecular Interactions... 

The intermolecular interactions and long-range intramolecular interactions are incorporated via a pair-wise interaction potential. All pairs of beads from... 

This concept was introduced by Flory and Krikbaum (3) who postulated the presence of an excluded volume for the polymer chain, i.e. the volume occupied by the polymer chain which exhibits long-range intramolecular interaction. These interactions were introduced as an enthalpic term k and an entropic term jf. The two terms become equal when AG mix = 0. The temperature at which these conditions prevail in a given solvent is the -temperature, given as follows ... 

In an actual chain, two remotely connected segments cannot occupy the same space at the same time. As a result of this long-range intramolecular interaction, the actual chain will have a more extended configuration than implied by the random flight consideration. 

The subscript 0 in<5 >(, refers to the fact that this is the mean square radius of gyration for an ideal coil, without any long-range intramolecular interactions. 

Landau and Lifschitz [4] provided the further vector analysis needed to relate to the more experimentally useful . For a polymer with no long-range intramolecular interactions.
