The movement of polymers is hindered by their length and surroundings.
Polymer physics is the field that applies statistical mechanics and physical chemistry to understand the behavior of macromolecules—long, chain-like molecules made of repeating units called monomers. Because these chains are so large and complex, they are typically described using statistical models rather than deterministic ones. 1. Fundamental Models of a Single Chain
) : The temperature where a polymer transitions from a hard, brittle "glassy" state to a soft, flexible "rubbery" state.
