Fig. 4. The AFRC is complementary to existing polymer models.

(A) Comparison of end-to-end distance distributions for several other analytical models, including the Wormlike Chain (WLC), the self-avoiding walk (SAW), and the ν-dependent SAW model (SAW-ν). The AFRC behaves like a ν-dependent SAW with a scaling exponent of 0.5. (B) Comparisons of ensemble-average radii of gyration as a function of chain length for the same sets of polymer models. The AFRC behaves as expected and again is consistent with a ν-dependent SAW with a scaling exponent of 0.5.
