제목 Ring polymer melts: molecular dynamics study
초록 Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the static and dynamic properties of ring polymer melts in comparison to linear polymer melts. Systems were composed of 200 chains at a number density of 0.85. With N denoting the number of beads in a chain, simulations were carried out with N = 100, 200, 400, and 800. For the ring polymers an additional simulation was conducted with N = 1600. The standard Kremer-Grest polymer model was modified by introducing a bending potential to make the chains stiffer. For each value of N, the ring polymers were found to have a higher chain diffusivity than their linear counterparts. While the ring polymers are found to have roughly spherical shapes, they display complex entanglements as revealed by a primitive path analysis.
