A new and general model called the helical wormlike chain for both flexible and semiflexible polymer chains is presented statistical mechanical transport and dynamic theories of their solution properties are developed on the basis of this model. In polymer physics the equation 418 is able to describe the chain propagator the core of the statistical mechanics of the polymer chain of helical chains 23 and worm like chains on . Helical wormlike chains in polymer solutions hiromi yamakawa o takenao yoshizaki helical wormlike chains in polymer solutions second edition 123 was developed on the basis of the helical wormlike chain model along with an analysis of extensive experimental data chapter 2 and the fundamental parts of. A new and general model called the helical wormlike chain for both flexible and semiflexible polymer chains is presented statistical mechanical transport and dynamic theories of their solution properties are developed on the basis of this model. This book presents the helical wormlike chain model a general model for both flexible and semiflexible polymer chains it explains how statistical mechanical hydrodynamic and dynamic theories of their solution properties can be developed on the basis of this model
