An introductory review of the Monte Carlo method for the statistical mechanics of condensed
matter systems is given. Basic principles (random number generation, simple sampling …

Recent developments that increase the time and distance scales accessible in the
simulations of specific polymers are reviewed. Several different techniques are similar in that …

This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of amorphous solids and related
disordered condensed matter systems. Important concepts from statistical mechanics such …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

Polymer materials are multiscale systems by definition. Already the description of a single
macromolecule involves a multitude of scales, and cooperative processes in polymer …

We present an algorithm for simulating flexible chain polymers. It combines the Rosenbluth-
Rosenbluth method with recursive enrichment. Although it can be applied also in more …

On the basis of extensive Monte Carlo simulations of lattice models for linear chains under
good and Θ solvents conditions, and for bottle-brush polymers under good solvent …

Dilute or semidilute solutions of nonintersecting self-avoiding walk (SAW) polymer chains
are mapped onto a fluid of “soft” particles interacting via an effective pair potential between …

We present a study of the structure of Tetra-PEG model networks, using proton multiple-
quantum NMR at low field in combination with computer simulations. Tetra-PEG is a novel …

Unconcatenated, unknotted polymer rings in the melt are subject to strong interactions with
neighboring chains due to the presence of topological constraints. We study this by …
