@Dmichiel1 Here I worked at higher valency. But yes for your point, in the previous works where I was varying the polymer's size I got a percolating network anytime the linking degree was between 2 and 3.
The last work of my PhD is out. Here, we investigate how geometric constraints (slit-confinement) can be exploited for the synthesis of self-assembled topological polymer networks (Olympic networks).

@Dmichiel1 Hi Davide, thanks for pointing this out. I actually missed your estimate on kdna elasticity. I will definitely have a look and try to compare the two.
New preprint out https://t.co/qXR9ecozDw
In this work we perform topological analysis of melts of topologically complex rings and we show how to recover the entanglement of the system from its topology.
From the analysis of 1) single-ring (knots), 2) couples of rings (two-chain links), 3) triplets of rings (three-chain links), we show that two-chain links capture almost the full entanglement of the system with three-chain links adding minor corrections.
New paper! Monte Carlo simulations show that ring polymers are double-folded above the entanglement length, while threadings are localized on smaller scales, reconciling different theories https://t.co/9rJStKNFTi @MacroJrnls_ACS@univienna@Sissaschool#topology#rings
