摘要
The ultrashort pair interaction for star polymers is verified by direct molecular simulations. By generalizing this method to two stars confined in a periodically repeated cubic cell, the shrinking of the corona diameter due to a finite star density is estimated. Further, triplets of stars are also considered to investigate the importance of triplet interactions.
