A polymer field theory is a statistical field theory describing the statistical behavior of a neutral or charged polymer system. It can be derived by transforming the partition function from its standard many-dimensional integral representation over the particle degrees of freedom in a functional integral representation over an auxiliary field function, using either the Hubbard–Stratonovich transformation or the delta-functional transformation. Computer simulations based on polymer field theories have been shown to deliver useful results, for example to calculate the structures and properties of polymer solutions (Baeurle 2007, Schmid 1998), polymer melts (Schmid 1998, Matsen 2002, Fredrickson 2002) and thermoplastics (Baeurle 2006).

We are used to using a theory like VSEPR theory to predict molecular geometry, but unfortunately with coordination compounds, things are not so simple, because of those pesky d orbitals on the central metal atom. Crystal field theory is a model that is quite successful in predicting the ge

We don't normally think of polymers as crystalline. However, they can be highly crystalline depending on structure and processing conditions. Simple linear polymers tend to have high crystallinity, particularly if they are allowed to cool slowly from the melt. Polymers often have portions

Calculating Molecular Weight (number and weight average) for polymers
Molecular weight is an important for polymers. Since polymer processing typically produces a distribution of different chain lengths, both short and long, we need a tool that calculates the average molecular weight. We can do this based on number average or weight average. Degree of polyme
