Abstract
Off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations are employed to study the behavior of chain molecules confined in a long cylindrical pore under the condition of hard-body interaction. The emphasis is placed on the chain and bead distributions as well as the location dependence of the chain conformation and anisotropy. The simulation results show that the chains very near the pore surface tend to wrap around the surface in various configurations. This behavior is qualitatively similar to that of the chains near but outside a cylindrical rod. Moreover, the bead concentration near the pore surface increases with increasing surface curvature.
