Abstract
A Monte Carlo (MC) simulation program was derived for calculating ther mal fluctuations in the molecular conformation of isotactic polypropyl ene (IPP); it was applied to the IPP model compound. The MC calculatio ns gave reasonable results that an IPP oligomer chain forms a (3/1) he lical conformation and a random coil at low and high temperatures, res pectively.
