Cyclic polymers are the simplest topological isomers of linear macromolecules, but exhibit
properties that differ from linear chains in ways that remain imperfectly understood. The …

A variety of single-and multicyclic polymers having programmed chemical structures with
guaranteed purity have now become obtainable owing to a number of synthetic …

The study of the conformation properties of macromolecules is at the heart of polymer
science. Essentially all physical properties of polymers are manifestations of the underlying …

Ring polymers have fascinated theorists, simulators, and experimentalists as they are the
simplest polymer without ends, giving rise to important topology related properties. We …

Metropolis Monte Carlo has been employed with remarkable success over the years to
simulate the dense phases of polymer systems. Owing, in particular, to the freedom it …

The conformational and dynamical properties of isolated semiflexible active polar ring
polymers are investigated analytically. A ring is modeled as a continuous Gaussian polymer …

Polymer melts with topologically distinct molecular structures, namely, linear chain, ring, and
star polymers, are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. In particular, we …

Owing to their great importance in materials science and other fields, we investigate the
solution and osmotic properties of uncharged compact nanogel particles over a wide range …

Thermodynamic, conformational, and structural properties of bottlebrush polymer melts are
investigated with molecular dynamics simulations and compared to linear, regular star, and …

By means of large-scale computer simulations and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS),
we investigate solutions of single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs), covering the whole …
