Flory Huggins theory for linear polymer chains

[Pwantar]

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a source for Flory-Huggins theory on linear polymer chains. You see, I've been conducting an undergraduate research project concerning the topic. Every paper I look at, they simply quote an equation, and says that it follows from FH theory for linear polymer chains. The book by Flory wasn't much assistance, and neither was my googling.

The article in particular is:
Competition between self-assembly and surface adsorption, by Jacek Dudowicz. Published in the Journal of Chemical Physics 130, 084903 (2009).

The equations in particular are 17-21.

I apologize for not writing the equations down, but they are cumbersome and I don't have the time now. For those that don't have access to J. Chem. Phys., I will copy the equations down later.

Hi there! I had a look at the article you mentioned and it seems that the equations are derived from the Flory-Huggins theory. In particular, they are derived from the equation of state for polymer solutions which is derived from the Flory-Huggins theory. You can find a good explanation of the theory in the book "Polymer Physics" by M. Rubinstein and R. H. Colby. It should provide you with enough information to understand the equations. Good luck with your research!
