The Flory–Rehner equation is a fundamental relationship used in polymer science to describe the thermodynamics of crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) networks and other similar polymer systems. It relates the degree of swelling of a crosslinked polymer network in a solvent to the interaction between the polymer and solvent, as well as the network's elastic properties.
