Polymer-mediated entropic forces between scale-free objects
The number of configurations of a polymer is reduced in the presence of a barrier or an obstacle. The resulting loss of entropy adds a repulsive component to other forces generated by interaction potentials. When the obstructions are scale invariant shapes (such as cones, wedges, lines, or planes) t...
