Dendrimers vs. Hyperbranched Polymers: Studies of the Polymerization Process Based on Monte Carlo Simulations
A simple model was developed for studies of the polymerization process of branched polymers. Monte Carlo simulations were carried out by means of the Dynamic Lattice Liquid algorithm. A living polymerization in bulk of dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers was studied. The mass and structure of b ...
Computer Simulation of the Dynamic Behavior of Double Polymer Brush-Solvent Systems
Opposing polymer brush systems were investigated by computer simulations. In a coarse-grained model, chains were restricted to a face-centered cubic lattice with the excluded volume interactions only. The macromolecules were grafted onto two parallel impenetrable surfaces. The dynamic properties ...
The Influence of Temperature on the Percolation Threshold in Two-Dimensional Polymer Systems
The structure of a two-dimensional film formed by strongly adsorbed polymer chains was studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We investigated the percolation in systems consisting of flexible polymer chains. A coarse-grained polymer chains representation was assumed and polymer chains were ...
Monte-Carlo Simulations of Two-Dimensional Polymer Solutions with Explicit Solvent Treatment
he static properties of two dimensional athermal polymer solutions with explicit solvent molecules were studied by Monte Carlo lattice simulations using the cooperative motion algorithm (CMA). The simulations were per ...
Computer Simulation of Cyclic Polymers in Disordered Media
In order to determine the structure and dynamical properties of cyclic polymers (rings) in a random environment we developed and studied an idealized model. All atomic details were suppressed, chains were represented as a sequence of identical beads and were embedded to a simple cubic lattice. A ...
Motion of Star-Branched Chains in a Nanochannel. A Monte Carlo Study
In order to determine the structure and dynamic properties of polymers systems in a random environment we developed and studied an idealized model. Properties of the model of confined linear and branched polymer chains were studied by means of the Monte Carlo method. Model chains were built of st ...
