the length of the freely jointed segment that gives an equivalent ideal chain the same contour length and mean square end-to-end distance as a real polymer.

In polymer science, Kuhn length refers to the length of the freely jointed segment that gives an equivalent ideal chain the same contour length and mean square end-to-end distance as a real polymer. This meaning comes from Kuhn (1934) in Kolloid-Zeitschrift.[1]
