Dear experts,

I have a quick and naive inquiry. I see in the molecular dynamics simulations that density of the polymers increase slightly with increasing degree of polymerization ( or Mw). Even for the systems having the same total atom numbers but one with less number of chains of higher Mw. My guess its because of the less void space in case of higher Mw chains..?!

And usually properties depending on Mw level off with no significant change in the property of interest vs chain length.

Lengthy converged equilibrium simulations using a valid model physics should agree with experimental properties. So at least one of those conditions isn't true.
