Expressions Definition
Paul Flory Paul John Flory (June 19 1910 - September 9 1985) was an American chemist who was known for his prodigious volume of work in the field of polymers, or macromolecules. Flory graduated with a bachelor's degree from Manchester College in 1931 and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 1934. His first position was at DuPont with Wallace Carothers. He was a leading pioneer in understanding the behavior of polymers in solution. Among his accomplishments are an original method for computing the probable size of a polymer in good solution, the Flory-Huggins Solution Theory, and the derivation of the Flory exponent, which helps characterize the movement of polymers in solution.
