Description

This lecture delves into the exploration of polymer conformation beyond the Freely Jointed Chain model, introducing the Kratky-Porod model. The instructor discusses the implications of introducing realistic local rigidity terms, the continuum limit, and the importance of correlations in determining the polymer's behavior. The lecture also covers the rescaling argument, the persistence length, and the impact of rigidity on the polymer's mechanical properties.
