Abstract

Polymer RISM (reference interaction site model) theory is used to examine the intermolecular radial distribution function and isothermal compressibility of semiflexible polymer melts. Parametric studies as a function of chain length and chain stiffness reveal that as the characteristic stiffness is increased beyond three bond lengths, the radial distribution function and isothermal compressibility saturate, becoming relatively insensitive to chain length or stiffness
