Polymer chemistry

the ratio of a real chain's unperturbed mean-square end-to-end distance to that of a freely jointed chain of the same bonds, a measure of chain stiffness.

In polymer chemistry, characteristic ratio refers to the ratio of a real chain's unperturbed mean-square end-to-end distance to that of a freely jointed chain of the same bonds, a measure of chain stiffness. This meaning comes from Flory (1969) in Statistical mechanics of chain molecules.[1]
