Resumen:
Understanding how disordered assemblies of ring molecules pack together is key for describing polymer rings and cyclic biomolecules. Here, we study the geometrical and topological properties of these systems by imaging assemblies of macroscopic rubber bands using tomography. While short bands pack in liquid-like, untangled structures, thecontainer forces folded configurations for longer bands, creating highlyinterpenetrated and entangled assemblies. These results show that tomography isa crucial tool for revealing the structure of disordered filamentary systems.
