Description

The Nile on eBay Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulations in Polymer Science by Kurt Binder An edited book with chapters contributed by experts on the various computer simulation techniques used for macromolecular materials. It describes how to use simulation to explain experimental data and gain insight into structure and dynamic properties of polymeric systems. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Written by leading experts from around the world, Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulations in Polymer Science comprehensively reviews the latest simulation techniques for macromolecular materials. Focusing in particular on numerous new techniques, the book offers authoritative introductions to solutions of neutral polymers and polyelectrolytes; dynamics of polymer melts, rubbers and gels, and glassy materials; thermodynamics of polymer mixing andmesophase formation, and polymers confined at interfaces and grafted to walls. Throughout, contributors offer practical advice on how to overcome the unique challenges posed by the large size and slow relaxationof polymer coils. Students and researchers in polymer chemistry, polymer physics, chemical engineering, and materials and computational science will all benefit from the cogent, step-by-step introductions contained in this important new book.
