Self Avoiding Walk

Conformations of tethered chains in restricted spherical volumes with an increasing radius were studied by Monte Carlo simulations. Simulations were performed on a tetrahedral lattice at relatively high densities of the occupied lattice sites. A simultaneous self-avoiding walk of all tethered chains creates the starting conformations of the multi-chain system which are futher equilibrated by a modified algorithm similar to that of Siepmann and Frenkel. In this paper, only a geometric excluded volume effect of segments is considered. Selectively chosen series of data for changing numbers of chains, N, their lengths, L, and radii of the sphere, R, give information on the system behavior under various conditions. In this part of our systematic study of tethered chains in constrained volumes, we present angular distribution functions of the end-to-end, end-to-gravity center distances, etc. for system studied in previous paper. The second class of studied conformational characteristics are the distributions of projections of the end-to-end vectors into the selected directions (i.e. the radial direction and the direction of the first-to-second polymer segment connection).

Monte Carlo simulations of chain conformations in a restricted spherical volume at relatively high densities of segments were performed for various numbers of chains, N, and chain lengths (number of segments), L, on a tetrahedral lattice. All chains are randomly end-tethered to the surface of the sphere. A relatively uniform surface density of the tethered ends is guaranteed in our simulations. A simultaneous self-avoiding walk of all chains creates starting conformations for a subsequent equilibration. A modified algorithm similar to that of Siepmann and Frenkel is used for the equilibration of the chain conformations. In this paper, only a geometrical excluded volume effect of segments is considered. Various structural and conformational characteristics, e.g. segment densities gS(r), free end densities gF(r) as functions of the position in the sphere (a distance from the center), distributions of the tethered-to-free end distances, ρTF(rTF), etc. are calculated and their physical meaning is discussed. The model is suitable for studies of chain conformations is swollen cores of multimolecular block copolymer micelles and for interpretation of non-radiative excitation energy migration in polymeric micellar systems.
