We investigate the problem of polymer translocation through a nanopore in the absence of an external driving force. To this end, we use the two-dimensional (2D) fluctuating bond model with single-segment Monte Carlo moves. To overcome the entropic barrier without artificial restrictions, we consider a polymer which is initially placed in the middle of the pore, and study the escape time required for the polymer to completely exit the pore on either end. In particular, we examined the effect of the pore length on the escape time.
