Local volume fraction of polymer segments ϕpol(k) at each lattice layer k, for terminal-linkers with Nl = 1 and ln γ = 1.85 (circles), 8 (squares), and 20 (triangles) in systems with ϕpol° = 0.025. Solid black line is a parabola, showing parabolic curvature of grafted polymer segment density at large γ. Black dashed line is ϕpol.
