with the initial condition, <γ(r, 0; [w]) = 1. The average segment density of the single
chain in presence of the external field is given by

We can also derive the density of the segment located at the contour position, s,

These results (eqs. 8.20 and 8.23) are for linear homopolymers. The derivation can
be generalized to a variety of chain structures, as shown in detail in ref. [269].

8.2 From particles to fields

The preliminary step in a field-based approach, such as SCFT, is to convert the
standard particle-based model to a statistical field theory. This particle-to-field trans-
formation technique for a homopolymer in an explicit solvent is discussed here in
detail. The intramolecular long-range interferences and inter-molecular interactions
between the segments of the polymer chains as well as the interactions with the sol-
