Flory–Rehner equation

In polymer science Flory–Rehner equation is an equation that describes the mixing of polymer and liquid molecules as predicted by the equilibrium swelling theory of Flory and Rehner. It describes the equilibrium swelling of a lightly crosslinked polymer in terms of crosslink density and the quality of the solvent. The theory considers forces arising from three sources: In polymer science Flory–Rehner equation is an equation that describes the mixing of polymer and liquid molecules as predicted by the equilibrium swelling theory of Flory and Rehner.
