Can polymer coils Be modeled as "Soft colloids"?
We map dilute or semidilute solutions of nonintersecting polymer chains onto a fluid of "soft" particles interacting via a concentration dependent effective pair potential, by inverting the pair distribution function of the centers of mass of the initial polymer chains. A similar inversion...
