Dynamical Monte Carlo Study of Equilibrium Polymers (II): Effects of High Density and Ring Formation
An off-lattice Monte Carlo algorithm for solutions of equilibrium polymers (EP) is proposed. At low and moderate densities this is shown to reproduce faithfully the (static) properties found recently for flexible linear EP using a lattice model [1]. The molecular weight distribution (MWD) is well described in the dilute limit by a Schultz-Zimm distribution and becomes purely exponential in the ...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo simulation study of branched polymers.
Monte Carlo simulations are presented for the static properties of highly branched polymer molecules. The molecules consist of a semiflexible backbone of hard-sphere monomers with semiflexible side chains, also composed of hard-sphere monomers, attached to either every backbone bead or every other backbone bead. The conformational properties and structure factor of this model are investigated a...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Off-Lattice Polymers
We point out that a newly introduced recursive algorithm for lattice polymers has a much wider range of applicability. In particular, we apply it to the simulation of off-lattice polymers with Lennard-Jones potentials between nonbonded monomers and either delta or harmonic potentials between bonded monomers. Our algorithm allows particularly easy calculations of the free energy, and seems in ge...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of the self-assembly and phase behavior of semiflexible equilibrium polymers.
Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of a simple model semiflexible equilibrium polymer system, consisting of hard sphere monomers reversibly self-assembling into chains of arbitrary length, have been performed using a novel sampling method to add or remove multiple monomers during a single MC move. Systems with two different persistence lengths and a range of bond association constants have...
متن کاملTheoretical foundations of dynamical Monte Carlo simulations
Monte Carlo methods are utilized as computational tools in many areas of chemical physics. In this paper, we present the theoretical basis for a dynamical Monte Carlo method in terms of the theory of Poisson processes. We show that if: ( 1) a “dynamical hierarchy” of transition probabilities is created which also satisfy the detailed-balance criterion; (2) time increments upon successful events...
