Lecture
Polymer Collapse: Covolume and Free Energy
Description
This lecture covers the concept of polymer collapse, focusing on the covolume and free energy involved in the process. The instructor explains the non-ideal gas behavior, the repulsive and attractive interactions, and the thermodynamic favorability of the collapse. The discussion also includes the Flory Free-energy equation, the role of the covolume 'Jo', and the implications of non-ideal gas behavior in polymer systems.
