Modeling polymeric gels: The role of chain fexibility on the structure of physical gels

Using molecular dynamics simulations and a simple model for chain molecules we study the gel formation under different conditions. The main characteristic of the model is the short attractive range of the non-bonding interaction, which leads to the formation of a single percolated cluster trapped in...
