A recently devised method for determining the pressure in lattice simulations is applied to two-dimensional, athermal chains of 40, 80, and 160 segments, over the full range of fluid densities, from dilute solution to dense melt. The results are used to test Bawendi and Freed’s correction to Flory–Huggins mean-field theory, and the des Cloizeaux scaling law. The scaling of the mean-square end-to-end distance with density is also discussed.
