Abstract
The third osmotic virial coefficient, A(3), Of chain molecules confine d to simple cubic, face-centered cubic, and diamond lattices was deter mined by Monte Carlo methods. The data of each model appear to follow the same power law with an exponent in accordance with scaling predict ions. The ratio A(3)/(nA(2)(2)) for long chains turns out to be univer sal and is near 0.30.
