Monte 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 کاملHybrid Monte Carlo Simulation of Polymer Chains
We develop the hybrid Monte Carlo method for simulations of single off-lattice polymer chains. We discuss implementation and choice of simulation parameters in some detail. The performance of the algorithm is tested on models for homopolymers with shortor long-range self-repulsion, using chains with 16 ≤ N ≤ 512 monomers. Without excessive fine tuning, we find that the computational cost grows ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of polymer adsorption
We developed and employed the incremental gauge cell method to calculate the chemical potential (and thus free energies) of long, flexible homopolymer chains of Lennard-Jones beads with harmonic bonds. The free energy of these chains was calculated with respect to three external conditions: in the zero-density bulk limit, confined in a spherical pore with hard walls, and confined in a spherical...
متن کاملInterfaces in partly compatible polymer mixtures: a Monte Carlo simulation approach
The structure of polymer coils near interfaces between coexisting phases of symmetrical polymer mixtures (AB) is discussed, as well as the structure of symmetric diblock copolymers of the same chain length N adsorbed at the interface. The problem is studied by Monte Carlo simulations of the bond fluctuation model on the simple cubic lattice, choosing N = 32 and lattice linear dimensions L ×D × ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Interfaces in Polymer Blends
We review recent simulation studies of interfaces between immiscible homopolymer phases. Special emphasis is given to the presentation of efficient simulation techniques and powerful methods of data analysis, such as the analysis of capillary wave spectra. Possible reasons for polymer incompatibility and ways to relate model dependent interaction parameters to an effective Flory Huggins paramet...
