Influence of solvent quality on effective pair potentials between polymers in solution.
Solutions of interacting linear polymers are mapped onto a system of "soft" spherical particles interacting via an effective pair potential. This coarse-graining reduces the individual monomer-level description to a problem involving only the center of mass (c.m.) of the polymer coils. The...
