Topological Interaction in Ring Polymers

摘要

Topological interactions in ring polymers arise only from the chain connectivity. In this short article, there are briefly summarized the Monte Carlo studies of effects of the intra- and intermolecular topological interactions on the scattering function and second virial coefficient, respectively, of the wormlike ring model.A comparison between experimental data and the results for the wormlike ring is also shown.
