Monte Carlo Techniques applied to Polymer Deformation

Chui, Clarence / Boyce, Mary

Abstract The deformation of amorphous polymers at low temperatures (i.e. “glassy polymers”) is generally a non-equilibrium process (see Amorphous Polymers). The picture usually invoked to describe a glassy polymer is that of an entangled network structure trapped in a liquid-like state away from equilibrium. At these temperatures, the rates at which many of the relaxation processes occur in the material are much lower than typically imposed deformation rates1. Application of techniques such as the Metropolis Monte Carlo method for these types of systems requires special considerations which are briefly discussed in the following sections.
