Description

We propose a field theoretical approach to a polymer whose backbone is made of Janus particles. The field theory is solved using the saddle point approximation and the Random Phase Approximation valid for a dense polymer. We calculate the free energy density, the radius of gyration, and the Janus clusters concentrations.
