Abstract
In this paper we review some applications of the cooperative-motion si mulation algorithm to dense polymer melts. The basic idea behind the a lgorithm and its implementation on a computer are discussed. Furthermo re we show how to include intra- and intermolecular interactions in th e simulation. Exemplary results are presented concerning on one hand t he static properties of athermal and semiflexible lattice polymers and on the other hand the phase behaviour of polymer mixtures and diblock copolymers.
