✦ Synopsis

Abtttract-Two expressions for the entropy of isolated polymer chains in general, and Gaussian chains in particular, are examined, and the correct expression indicated. In particular, it is shown that the Wall equation for the entropy change upon perturbation of a Gaussian chain is correct.

We present simulation results for single o-thermal chain polymers in finite volumes. For this we use a recently proposed recursive implementation of the enrichment method. In 3 dimensions it allows the simulation of extremely long chains (up to N = 300000). It is much less efficient for d = 2, but w

## Abstract Peculiar β€˜reptational’ movements of isotactic PMMA chains on mica are observed by in situ AFM. The polymer molecules comprise long flexible chains that exhibit reptative, or snake‐like, motion on the substrate along the direction of the polymer chain. Intriguingly, some chains underwent
