Polymer熔体的格子蒙特卡罗模拟

Lattice Monte Carlo Simulations of Polymer Melts

Hsiao-Ping Hsu

摘要:

我们使用蒙特卡罗模拟研究聚合物熔体组成的完全灵活的和适度的刚性链在键波动模型在体积分数$0.5$。为了减少局部密度波动,我们测试了一个预包装过程的聚合物熔体的初始配置的准备,排除体积相互作用完全打开之前。该过程导致晶格上重叠单体的数量显著更快地减少。这对于模拟非常大的系统非常有用,其中排除体积违规的略微不完全消除的模型的统计特性与严格排除体积的模型的统计特性相同。我们发现,在熔体中的适度刚性链的内部均方端到端的距离可以很好地描述由一个自由旋转链模型与精确估计的键键取向之间的相关性在两个连续的键矢量平衡。不同刚度的链的减少的端到端距离的概率分布图也显示出数据崩溃是优秀的,并且通过理想链的高斯分布很好地描述。然而,虽然我们的结果证实了Wittmer等人发现的链结构因子$S_c(q)$ [Kratky图中的最小值]的高斯统计之间的系统偏差。{EPL{ \bf 77} 56003(2007)。对于熔体中的完全柔性链,当包括链刚度时,我们表明对于可用的链长度,这些偏差不再可见。从集体结构因子估计的均方键长和压缩性略微依赖于链的刚度。

英文摘要:

We use Monte Carlo simulations to study polymer melts consisting of fully flexible and moderately stiff chains in the bond fluctuation model at a volume fraction $0.5$. In order to reduce the local density fluctuations, we test a pre-packing process for the preparation of the initial configurations of the polymer melts, before the excluded volume interaction is switched on completely. This process leads to a significantly faster decrease of the number of overlapping monomers on the lattice. This is useful for simulating very large systems, where the statistical properties of the model with a marginally incomplete elimination of excluded volume violations are the same as those of the model with strictly excluded volume. We find that the internal mean square end-to-end distance for moderately stiff chains in a melt can be very well described by a freely rotating chain model with a precise estimate of the bond-bond orientational correlation between two successive bond vectors in equilibrium. The plot of the probability distributions of the reduced end-to-end distance of chains of different stiffness also shows that the data collapse is excellent and described very well by the Gaussian distribution for ideal chains. However, while our results confirm the systematic deviations between Gaussian statistics for the chain structure factor $S_c(q)$ [minimum in the Kratky-plot] found by Wittmer et al.~\{EPL {\bf 77} 56003 (2007).\} for fully flexible chains in a melt, we show that for the available chain length these deviations are no longer visible, when the chain stiffness is included. The mean square bond length and the compressibility estimated from collective structure factors depend slightly on the stiffness of the chains.
