 Scheutjens–Fleer theory

The Scheutjens–Fleer theory is a theoretical framework used in polymer science and soft condensed matter physics to describe the behavior of polymer solutions, particularly in relation to the adsorption of polymers to surfaces and interfaces. Developed by A. Scheutjens and J. Fleer in the 1990s, this theory provides a statistical mechanical basis for understanding how flexible polymers interact with surfaces, focusing on the configuration and arrangement of polymer chains.
