Topological Friction and Relaxation Dynamics of Spatially Confined Catenated Polymers

[Image: see text] We study catenated ring polymers confined inside channels and slits with Langevin dynamics simulations and address how the contour position and size of the interlocked or physically linked region evolve with time. We show that the catenation constraints generate a drag, or topologi...
