the collapse of a single polymer chain from an expanded coil to a compact globule as solvent quality worsens below the theta point.

In polymer physics, coil-globule transition refers to the collapse of a single polymer chain from an expanded coil to a compact globule as solvent quality worsens below the theta point. This meaning comes from Lifshitz (1978) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
