A finite excluded volume bond-fluctuation model: Static properties of dense polymer melts revisited
J. P. Wittmer, A. Cavallo, T. Kreer +2
The classical bond-fluctuation model (BFM) is an efficient lattice Monte Carlo algorithm for coarse-grained polymer chains where each monomer occupies exclusively a certain number…
Perimeter Length and Form Factor of Two-Dimensional Polymer Melts
H. Meyer, T. Kreer, M. Aichele +4
Self-avoiding polymers in two-dimensional () melts are known to adopt compact configurations of typical size with being the chain length. Using molecul…
Intramolecular long-range correlations in polymer melts: The segmental size distribution and its moments
J. P. Wittmer, P. Beckrich, H. Meyer +3
Presenting theoretical arguments and numerical results we demonstrate long-range intrachain correlations in concentrated solutions and melts of long flexible polymers which cause a…
Are polymer melts "ideal"?
J. P. Wittmer, P. Beckrich, F. Crevel +4
It is commonly accepted that in concentrated solutions or melts high-molecular weight polymers display random-walk conformational properties without long-range correlations between…
On the Dynamics and Disentanglement in Thin and Two-Dimensional Polymer Films
H. Meyer, T. Kreer, A. Cavallo +2
We present results from molecular dynamics simulations of strictly two-dimensional (2D) polymer melts and thin polymer films in a slit geometry of thickness of the order of the rad…
Single chain structure in thin polymer films: Corrections to Flory's and Silberberg's hypotheses
A. Cavallo, M. Müller, J. P. Wittmer +2
Conformational properties of polymer melts confined between two hard structureless walls are investigated by Monte Carlo simulation of the bond-fluctuation model. Parallel and perp…
