Enumeration of Self-Avoiding Random Walks on Lattices as Model Chains in Polymer Crystals

Recent simulation studies have revealed a wealth of distinct crystal polymorphs encountered in the self-organization of polymer systems driven by entropy or free energy. The present analysis, based on the concept of self-avoiding random walks (SAWs) on crystal lattices, is useful to calculate upper...
