Plateau moduli of Kremer-Grest models for commodity polymer melts
Carsten Svaneborg, Ralf Everaers
We estimate the plateau moduli of highly entangled end-pinned bead-spring polymer melts with Z = 100 and Z = 200 from the time-dependent elastic response to a step strain, which we…

The configurational entropy of random trees
Pieter H. W. van der Hoek, Angelo Rosa, Ralf Everaers
We present a graph theoretical approach to the configurational statistics of random tree-like objects, such as randomly branching polymers. In particular, for ideal trees we show t…

Amoeba Monte Carlo algorithms for random trees with controlled branching activity: efficient trial move generation and universal dynamics
Pieter H. W. van der Hoek, Angelo Rosa, Ralf Everaers
The reptation Monte Carlo algorithm is a simple, physically motivated and efficient method for equilibrating semi-dilute solutions of linear polymers. Here we propose two simple ge…
