Adding more internal loops to ring polymers under cylindrical confinement decreases segregation time due to increased entropic repulsion, with additional dependence on loop length and initial orientation.
Ideally, one would like to define the time of segregation as the time beyond which the two polymers 6 remained segregated indefinitely
