## Abstract Peculiar βreptationalβ movements of isotactic PMMA chains on mica are observed by in situ AFM. The polymer molecules comprise long flexible chains that exhibit reptative, or snakeβlike, motion on the substrate along the direction of the polymer chain. Intriguingly, some chains underwent
We present simulation results for single o-thermal chain polymers in finite volumes. For this we use a recently proposed recursive implementation of the enrichment method. In 3 dimensions it allows the simulation of extremely long chains (up to N = 300000). It is much less efficient for d = 2, but w
