Abstract
The behavior of a single, flexible polymer chain near the Flory temperature Θ is analysed in analogy with a magnetic phase transition. The transition to a collapsed state is related to a tricritical point for the magnetic problem.
Résumé
Le comportement d'une chaine flexible unique, près de la température Θ de Flory, est analysé à partir d'une analogie avec un problème magnétique. La transition vers un état globulaire compact est relié aux propriétés d'un point tricritique dans le problème magnétique.
