Abstract
The results of a statistical-conformational investigation of real polymer chains in their theta state are reported. The two following issues are particularly pointed out: (i) whether approaches based on the usual two- and three-body interaction model predict expansion or contraction with respect to the ideal phantom chain, for varying chain lengths; (ii) whether or not significant repulsive forces not reducible to the usual two- and three-body interactions exist, which may significantly expand the chain beyond the phantom size
