50. Chains should be Gaussian because the system experiences no volume exclusion but keeps the finite number density of chains in a fixed volume. Our perception of chains at η → 0 corresponds to the bead-rod model in polymer dynamics.

54. A discussion related to this rather unexplored topic was recently given by Rabeony et al. in their empirical approach of treating the interaction strength as a sole function of density. Their approach works well for UCST systems apart from critical points but does not for LCST systems. See: Rabeony, M.; Lohse, D. J.; Garner, R. T.; Han, S. J.; Graessley, W. W.; Migler, K. B.
