Iacovella, Christopher R. and Glotzer, Sharon C. (2008) Polymer Scaling Module. In Glotzer group. Depts of Chemical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Macromolecular Science, and Physics,University of Michigan.
This simulation consists of a single-component system of particles that are permanently bonded together via Finitely extensible non-linear elastic (FENE) springs. Particles either
interact via the Lennard-Jones Potential or the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen Potential to model different solvent selectivity. The system runs NVT Brownian Dynamics. The length of the polymer, solvent
conditions, and runtime are all user-modifiable variables. The simulation outputs the end to end distance. Additional information is also provided such simulation model/method description, detailed
instructions for running the simulation, tutorials, sample questions, literature examples, and links to other relevant data.
