Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations of collisions of nitrogen with a polyethylene surface are presented. Seven moving chains surrounded by 12 static chains are used to represent the polyethylene surfaces. Results are presented for collisional velocities between 2 and 10 km/s and compared to earlier results.
