Abstract: | We study the behavior of self-avoiding polymers in a background of infinitely long vertically aligned rods that are either frozen in random positions or free to move horizontally. We find that in both cases the polymer chains are highly elongated, with vertical and horizontal size exponents that differ by a factor of 3. Though these results are different than previous predictions, our results are confirmed by detailed computer simulations. |
