Abstract The global and local properties of polymers are not only fundamentally different but also strongly related. As a result, the morphology, molecular movements, condensed state and physical properties of polymers are quite different from those of small molecules. In this article, the global flexibility and local rigidity, polymer chains and segments, global random and local order, global independent blobs and local correlations of a Flory chains are presented to discuss the global and local properties of polymers.
Key words Polymer chains, Segments, Flexibility, Random chains, Cohesive entanglement
