Characteristic conformation of a comb copolymer cylindrical brush consisting of a flexible backbone of 300 beads (black) and 150 semiflexible side chains (white) of length M = 60. Intrinsic stiffness of the side chains is given by k side (s = 165 8)/ M L 0.48. Magnification shows the strongly fluctu

A Monte Carlo procedure was used to determine the effect of excluded volume on the conformational dimensions of amyloaic chains. The excluded volume was introduced into the model by assuming that hard spheres, which cannot overlap each other, exist at the center of mees of each glucose unit in the c
## Abstract **Summary:** The effects of copolymer sequence distribution on the dynamics of a copolymer in a homopolymer matrix are studied using computer simulations within the framework of the bondβfluctuation model on blends containing low concentrations (10%) of copolymers dispersed in a homopol
