Abstract

Two models for dense, overlapping systems of semiflexible self-avoiding chain polymers in two dimensions are discussed. A method is presented for obtaining their equilibrium thermodynamic properties as an expansion around the low-temperature (stiff-polymer) limit. The first two nontrivial terms in this expansion are given.
