19. The free energy depicted in the figures does not include energetic contributions resulting from the monomer-wall interactions (Eq. (5)) and is thus of purely entropic origin
20. The results for N = 256 (not shown in this figure) exhibit minor deviations in the amplitude, owing to the short chain length
