Abstract

The mean-square radius of gyration of polyethylene chains, considering the effect of hydrogen atoms, is investigated by using Monte Carlo simulation and the rotational isomeric state model. It is found that the mean-square radius of gyration of the chains may be expressed as 〈S 2〉 1 2 =0.445·M 1 2 in agreement with experimental data 〈S 2〉 1 2 M=0.45·M 1 2 This simulation can provide a method to investigate the mean-square radius of gyration of polymer chains.
