A Monte-Carlo simulation method for assessing the tie chain and trapped entanglement concentration in linear polyethylene was extended to enable the simulation of explicitly branched polyethylene. A subroutine was added to the model making possible the incorporation of different branch lengths and distributions. In addition, the microstructure of branched polyethylene was considered to be made of...
A Monte Carlo random walk model was developed to simulate the chain structure of amorphous layers in polyethylene. The chains emerging from the orthorhombic crystal lamellae were either folding back tightly (adjacent re-entry) or performing a random walk (obeying phantom chain statistics) forming statistical loops or tie chains. A correct amorphous density (ca. 85% of the crystalline density) was...
