Abstract
We discuss the formation of large loops in adsorbed polymer layers when the bulk concentration C is large. This allows us to introduce a new characteristic length Λ that corresponds to the extension of the loops in the bulk. We find that Λ∼NC3/4 and increases from the screening length ξ to the radius of the chains when concentration increases. This may be observed for instance by dilution of the solution subsequent to adsorptionKeywords
