Polymer dynamics in gels and melts
Prof. Gerard Barkema (Utrecht University)


Polymeric systems often evolve over macroscopic time-scales: seconds or hours. It is a formidable task to reach such time scales in computer simulations. Our approach is to use Monte Carlo simulations of lattice polymer models. Simulation results will be presented on scaling properties of reptation, DNA electrophoresis, phase separation of a binary mixture, and fractionation in quasi-binary polymer mixtures.
