Polymer Collapse

Polymer Collapse is a phase transition phenomenon in polymer physics and polymer biophysics wherein a polymer chain in solution undergoes a conformational contraction from an extended coil to a compact globule due to attractive intrachain interactions overcoming entropic repulsion.
