Computer-Simulation of Aggregation Phenomena Based on Cooperative Linking Mechanism in Polymers
The development of a model polymeric system where chains can interact and form aggregates of different size and shape by a cooperative linking mechanism is here reported. With a description of the algorithm determining the dynamics of the chains and the formation of stable linkages between them, we report the first results in function of volume concentration and molecular length. A comparison with experimental systems is also proposed with a tentative interpretation of the phase behaviors of different polysaccharides of qualitative nature.
