Abstract
The past decade has seen steadily growing activity in the detailed atomistic modelling of polymer melts and glasses. These studies have been aimed at improving our understanding of a variety of physical properties such as stress-strain behaviour, diffusion of small solute molecules and local chain motions. Such simulations cannot be classed strictly either as experiment or theory; rather they are a separate and complementary approach to the problem, providing molecular level insight which can be used to enhance the interpretation of experimental data and as a basis for developing new mathematical relations between physical properties.
