Abstract

The conformational entropy of self-avoiding polymer chains on a tetrahedral lattice is calculated with the exact enumeration method. The conformational entropy linearly varies with the chain length. The parameters governing the length dependence of the conformational entropy appear to be dependent on the temperature and the energy ε, which is the energy of gauche state relative to trans state. The second-order transition temperature T 2 depends mainly on ε.
