In addition to being described by the worm-like chain model, another theory of them relates the change in Gibbs free energy to the product of the ideal gas constant, absolute temperature, and a complex term that is a sum of the number of moles of these materials times the volume fraction of each one of these materials, plus some parameter chi to make an energy correction.
One theory of these entities models them as isotropic rods that require energy to bend. Central to that model is a quantity that is defined as the maximum distance that the rod can travel in a straight line before it bends in a different direction.

The mixing of these substances in a solution is governed by FloryHuggins theory, and biological examples of them include DNA, sugars and proteins. For 10 points, identify these compounds that consist of chemically bonded monomers.
