摘要
The use of coarse-grained lattice models for the modelling of the glassy freezing in of polymer melts is discussed. The bond-fluctuation model is shown to be a reasonable compromise between simulation efficiency and realistic chemical detail. The potential energy, favoring large values of the length of effective bonds, is at low temperatures in conflict with the tendency for dense packing of the effective monomers and this ''geometrical frustration'' is responsible for the glass transition of this model. It is shown that many physical properties of the model are in surprisingly close agreement with experiments. Open problems and directions for future research are briefly discussed.
