We present Monte Carlo results on a model of polymers in a condensed phase, over a range of monomer densities. We imagine cutting a cube out of the system. This cube will typically have several polymer molecules running through its interior, and starting and ending on the boundary. These subchains will be mutually entangled and we present a way to assess the extent of entanglement complexity as a function of the monomer density and the number of subchains in the cube. The model is a set of k self-avoiding and mutually avoiding walks, properly embedded in the cube.

Abstract
We present Monte Carlo results on a model of polymers in a condensed phase, over a range of monomer densities. We imagine cutting a cube out of the system. This cube will typically have several polymer molecules running through its interior, and starting and ending on the boundary. These subchains will be mutually entangled and we present a way to assess the extent of entanglement complexity as a function of the monomer density and the number of subchains in the cube. The model is a set of k self-avoiding and mutually avoiding walks, properly embedded in the cube.File in questo prodotto:
