摘要

This review provides a conceptual framework unveiling several principles and rules of conformational entropy in governing structures and properties of polymers

from the perspective of fundamental physics and statistical mechanics.

Abstract

Conformational entropy

one of the central concepts of polymer physics

is the key to revealing physical characteristics of polymers. Despite an increased repertoire of conformational-entropy effects in the structural formation

transition

and properties of polymer systems

the physical origin of conformational entropy remains less understood compared to interaction energy and other types of entropy. This review seeks to provide a conceptual framework unveiling several principles and rules of conformational entropy in governing the structures and properties of polymers

from the perspective of fundamental physics and statistical mechanics. First

we focus on the fundamentals of entropy in thermodynamics

leading to the theoretical basis for the elucidation of conformational entropy. Second

we delineate the physical nature of statistics and dissipation of conformational entropy and its essential dependence on the environmental heat bath. Next

we explore the principles of conformational entropy in driving the ordering transitions of various systems of polymers and their nanocomposites

elucidating the emergent and collective behaviors as well as the interplay between energetic interactions and entropy. Moreover

we demonstrate how the concept of conformational entropy is generalized to the biological systems and other soft matters. Finally

we discuss future directions to signify this framework originated from polymers.
