Lattice Monte Carlo simulations of polymer melts.
We use Monte Carlo simulations to study polymer melts consisting of fully flexible and moderately stiff chains in the bond fluctuation model at a volume fraction 0.5. In order to reduce the local density fluctuations, we test a pre-packing process for the preparation of the initial configurations of the polymer melts, before the excluded volume interaction is switched on completely. This proces...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations of lattice models for single polymer systems.
Single linear polymer chains in dilute solutions under good solvent conditions are studied by Monte Carlo simulations with the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method up to the chain length N~O(10(4)). Based on the standard simple cubic lattice model (SCLM) with fixed bond length and the bond fluctuation model (BFM) with bond lengths in a range between 2 and √10, we investigate the conformations of p...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Lattice Polymer Models
Polymers are substances whose molecules have high molar masses and are composed of a large number of repeating units. They occur naturally, and are also produced in large quantities. The materials commonly called plastics are all synthetic polymers. Polymers consist of a large number of units called monomers, which are joined sequentially to form a long chain. Perhaps the simplest polymer is po...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo simulations of flow-induced nucleation in polymer melts.
We derive a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate flow-induced nucleation in polymer melts. The crystallisation kinetics are modified by both stretching and orientation of the amorphous chains under flow, which is modelled by a recent non-linear tube theory. Rotation of the crystallites under flow is modelled by a simultaneous Brownian dynamics simulation. Our kinetic Monte Carlo approach i...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations of polymer brushes.
Three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations of flexible and semiflexible polymer brushes at various grafting densities are carried out to study their equilibrium structure and attendant properties by using the bond fluctuation model. Our simulation results of long flexible polymer brushes are, in general, consistent with predictions of the self-consistent field theory. However, a depletion layer ...
