34. 2 is not a simple number average, as one might intuitively expect from the virial expansion of the equation of state. Inserting the number-averaged contour length would lead to a severe underestimation of the virial coefficients. We have used the molecular weight average contour length instead, since this corresponds with the most probable contour length (see Figure 1).
