Using the expected large-concentration behavior, we extrapolate the low-density expansion outside the dilute regime, obtaining the osmotic pressure for any concentration in the semidilute region. Comparison with field-theoretical predictions and experimental data shows that the obtained expression is quite accurate. The error is approximately 1-2% below the overlap concentration and rises at most to 5-10% in the limit of very large polymer concentrations.26 pages, 4 figuresStatistical MechanicsVirial coefficients and osmotic pressure in polymer solutions in good-solvent conditionstext
