A living polymer system is used to study the effect of concentration on a broad, polydisperse
two-dimensional polymer system. It is found that the mean
squared end-to-end radius of a
chain of L monomers does not decrease by following a simple power law of the concentration
but by a function of the form 
.
An origin for such a behaviour is
proposed.
