Abstract

The deformation behavior of statistical coils in the condensed state were studied by computer simulations. The simulated systems consisted of single and double chains, each with (N - 1 ) segments, which could rotate about their junctions. Van der Waals interactions were considered between all junctions. Equilibrium conformations were obtained by potential energy minimization using a modified Newton algorithm. During the simulated deformation, all initial coils transformed into a highly oriented fibril and a residual coil. Combining the behaviour of several coils, the energy increased nearly linearly with the extension ratio and due to this the retractive force was independent of the extension rate.
