摘要:

经典的键涨落模型(BFM)是一种有效的格子蒙特卡罗算法,用于粗粒聚合物链,其中每个单体仅占据一定数量的晶格位置。在本文中,我们提出了一个推广的BFM,我们放松这一约束,并允许重叠的单体受到有限的能量惩罚$\overlap$。这样做是为了系统地改变溶液的无量纲压缩率$g$,以研究在恒定的总单体密度下,致密聚合物熔体中的密度波动对各种静态性质的影响。压缩性直接从静态结构因子的低波矢极限得到。我们认为,例如,由$s$单体沿链隔开的两个键的链内键-键关联函数$P(s)$。它表明,排除体积相互作用从来没有完全筛选非常长的链。如果探测到小于热团尺寸的距离($s \ll g$),则根据经典的Fixman膨胀,链溶胀,其中,例如,$P(s) \sim g^{-1}s^{-1/2}$。更重要的是,聚合物在更大的距离($s \gg g$)上的行为就像不可压缩的团块与$P(s) \si m g^0s^{-3/2}$的溶胀链。

英文摘要:

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 of lattice sites. In this paper we propose a generalization of the BFM where we relax this constraint and allow the overlap of monomers subject to a finite energy penalty $\overlap$. This is done to vary systematically the dimensionless compressibility $g$ of the solution in order to investigate the influence of density fluctuations in dense polymer melts on various s tatic properties at constant overall monomer density. The compressibility is obtained directly from the low-wavevector limit of the static structure fa ctor. We consider, e.g., the intrachain bond-bond correlation function, $P(s)$, of two bonds separated by $s$ monomers along the chain. It is shown that the excluded volume interactions are never fully screened for very long chains. If distances smaller than the thermal blob size are probed ($s \ll g$) the chains are swollen acc ording to the classical Fixman expansion where, e.g., $P(s) \sim g^{-1}s^{-1/2}$. More importantly, the polymers behave on larger distances ($s \gg g$) like swollen chains of incompressible blobs with $P(s) \si m g^0s^{-3/2}$.
