description

The effect of interaction between reversible helical polymers of the poly(hexyl isocyanate) type is investigated by using a molecular field model. It is shown that for interacting helices a critical temperature exists below which they must adopt a common helix-sense spontaneously, even in the absence of any external or intrinsic chiral force
