Their stiffness is measured with the persistence length, equal to one half the Kuhn length, which is used to model them as random walks.
The Flory-Huggins theory models these substances when put in solution and they are the subject of the Krotky-Porod worm like chain model. Their stiffness is measured with the persistence length, equal to one half the Kuhn length, which is used to model them as random walks. The Carothers equation gives their degree in the step-growth reactions used to create them, while the free radical mechanism is often used for chain-growth, or addition reactions. For 10 points, name these compounds, examples of which include nylon and which are composed of repeating monomers.
