Before revision: The theory considers forces arising from three sources: The entropy change caused by mixing of polymer and solvent The heat of mixing of polymer and solvent , which may be positive, negative, or zero so, that The entropy change caused by reduction in numbers of possible chain conformations via swelling The Flory–Rehner equation was used to model the cooking of steaks in a journal article in 2020 .
