Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations on a single polymethylene chain using a scaled Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential of the form U(r ij )= 4e[(σ/r ij ) 12 -β(σ/r ij ) 6 ] and a continuous rotational potential (opposite to RIS models) are reported. In this approach a single parameters models solventquality. By adjusting the scaling parameter β to 0.55 it was shown that θ-conditions can be simulated. In a second approach the unscaled LJ potential was taken into account up to a specified number of nearest neighbors only.
