摘要
Atomistic models of short chain branched (SCB) polyethylene melts have been equilibrated at 450K using a connectivity altering Monte Carlo method. Quantities related to the chain dimensions and entanglements have been determined. The simulated tube diameters, < a(pp)> of SCB melts are found to scale with the backbone weight fraction, phi, as < a(pp)> similar to phi(-0.46), close to the scaling predicted by the binary contact model, < a(pp)> similar to phi(-0.5). Similar relationships are observed experimentally for polymer solutions, and reproduced by the present methods.
