Abstract
The lineal structure of an entangled polymer of length L is simulated by a potential, V=fË(s)Ï, where, fË=df/ds, 0⩽s⩽L, and f(s) a modulating function. Entanglement probabilities calculated for two cases, (a) f(s)=kcos(νs), and (b) f(s)=ksp, show a significant influence of chirality or “handedness”.
