Abstract
The collapse transition for continuum two-dimensional linear polymers is investigated by Brownian dynamics. Attractions are modeled by a Lennard-Jones force and the strength of the attraction is varied by changing the value of the reduced well depth, ε. The transition is followed by monitoring the change in the radius of gyration, 〈S2〉. It is found that the collapse transition occurs for ε≊1.375.Keywords
