摘要
If you mix lines and circles, what happens at the edge of the mixture? The problem is simply stated, but the answer is not obvious. Twenty years ago it was proposed that a universal topological driving force would drive cyclic chains to enrich the surface of blends of linear and cyclic chains. Here such behavior is demonstrated experimentally for sufficiently long chains and the limit in molecular weight where packing effects dominate over the topological driving force is identified.
