The Monte Carlo simulation comprises three distinct moves (i) Canonical Monte Carlo moves update the molecular conformations in the Mr repUca. In this specific application, we employ a Smart Monte Carlo algorithm [119] that utilizes strong bonded forces to propose a trial displacement [43, 87]. The amplitude of the trial displacement has been optimized in order to maximize the mean-square displacement of molecules [91], and the single-chain dynamics closely resembles the Rouse-dynamics of unentangled macromolecules [120]. (ii) Since each replica is an... 

In this chapter, we present currently held molecular theories for the viscoelasticity of linear, flexible macromolecular chains. We begin with a presentation of the static properties of macromolecules and the stochastic processes in the motion of macromolecular chains, as much as they will be necessary to present the molecular aspects of viscoelasticity in this and later chapters. We first present the molecular theories of Rouse (1953) and Zimm (1956), which are basically applicable to dilute polymer solutions and unentangled polymer melts, and then present the molecular theory of Doi and Edwards (1978a, 1978b, 1978c, 1979), which is applicable to concentrated polymer solutions and entangled polymer melts.
