Is it true that long polymer chains interact with themselves through intramolecular van der Waals forces?

Yes. Long polymer chains interact with themselves and maintain structural conformations through intramolecular forces, including van der Waals interactions.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 4 Aug 2026

The analysis

The provided literature demonstrates that long polymer chains and biopolymers are influenced structurally and energetically by intramolecular noncovalent interactions, specifically including van der Waals forces.
