Dynamics of Soliton-Like Excitations in a Chain of a Polymer Crystal: Influence of Neighbouring Chains Mobility

Pages 305-311 | Published online: 21 Jan 2013
 

Abstract

We investigate influence of mobility of neighbouring chains on dynamics of soliton-like excitations in a chain of the simplest polymer crystal (polyethylene in the “united atoms” approximation) using molecular dynamics simulation. We present results for point-like structural defects: static and moving at low, medium and high velocities; and examine how the structure of a crystal will affect them.
