The effect of chain stiffness on the phase behaviour of isolated homopolymers
We have studied the thermodynamics of isolated homopolymer chains of varying stiffness using a lattice model. A complex phase behaviour is found: phases include chain-folded "crystalline" structures, the disordered globule and the coil. It is found, in agreement with recent theoretical cal...
