We use the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method to investigate systematically the segment density profiles of compact polymer chains confined between two parallel plane walls.The non-adsorption case of adsorption interaction energyε=0 and the weak adsorption case ofε=-1 are considered for the compact polymer chains with different chain lengths N and different separation distances between two walls D.Several special entropy effects on the confined compact polymer chains

such as a damped oscillation in the segment density profile for the large separation distance D

are observed and discussed for different separation distances D in the non-adsorption case.In the weak adsorption case

investigations on the segment density profiles indicate that the competition between the entropy and adsorption effects results in an obvious depletion layer.Moreover

the scaling laws of the damped oscillation period T

d

and the depletion layer width L

d

are obtained for the confined compact chains.Most of these results are obtained for the first time so far as we know

which are expected to understand the properties of the confined compact polymer chains more completely.
