Abstract

The authors discuss their recent work using the molecular dynamics method in order to investigate the dynamics of polymers for different conditions. Their simulations include all of the degrees of freedom and are carried out for reasonable lengths of time using some new methods we have developed. The results have provided information on the effect of anharmonicity on polymer dynamics, on the melting transition, and meso-phase transitions and heat capacities. This information provides the basis for a more detailed understanding of these processes.
