Polymer Elasticity Models

Polymer Elasticity Models is a theoretical framework that describes the mechanical response of polymer chains to external forces by combining statistical mechanics with continuum elasticity, distinguishing itself through the application of specific force-extension relationships such as those derived from the worm-like chain, freely jointed chain, and elastic rod models in the context of single-molecule biophysics.
