Materials for engineering
Atomistic simulation methods are successful in predicting equation-ofstate
behaviour of polymer melts and glasses of moderate molecular weight,
as well as the elastic constants of polymer crystals and glasses. Molecular
modelling is thus clearly emerging as an important tool in polymer science
and engineering.
