Abstract

A first stage in the study of polymer solution science ended with the worldwide acceptance of the concept of the excluded-volume effect in the mid 1950s shortly after the publication of the celebrated book by Flory [1] in 1953. In the next stage, activity was centered mainly in the study of dilute solution behavior of flexible polymers within the Flory framework which consists of that concept for the Gaussian chain and the universality of its Θ state without that effect.
