Lattice Models of Solutions

Lattice models are a form of COARSE GRAINING, where only the most important molecular details of a
system are retained in a statistical mechanical model. This is a powerful approach to create stat mech
models where meaningful predictions can be made for complex materials. We began a derivation of the
free energy of mixing for a polymer solution based on Flory-Huggins theory:

np = number polymer chains M = total lattice sites = ns + Nnp


N = number of segments per chain
ns = number of solvent molecules
