Monte 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...
متن کاملMultiple ‘‘time step’’ Monte Carlo
We propose a sampling scheme to reduce the CPU time for Monte Carlo simulations of atomic systems. Our method is based on the separation of the potential energy into parts that are expected to vary at different rates as a function of coordinates. We perform n moves that are accepted or rejected according to the rapidly varying part of the potential, and the resulting configuration is accepted o...
متن کاملLattice 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 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 ...
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 ...
