10. This statement applies to the overall contribution of nonbonded interactions. There is a distinction between the behavior of interchain and intrachain nonbonded interactions that becomes significant for systems of long chains; see G. Loriot and J. H. Weiner, J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym. Phys. 36, 143 (1998).
