✦ Synopsis

The algorithm used by the program GEPOL to compute the Molecular Surface (MS), as defined by Richards, is presented in detail. GEPOL starts like other algorithms from a set of spheres with van der Waals radii, centered on the atoms or group of atoms of the molecule. GEPOL computes the MS by first searching the spaces inaccessible to the solvent and consequently filling them with a new set of spheres.

Here we study the behavior of the method with its parameters, presenting several examples of application.

## Abstract To understand and calculate the interactions of a solute with a solvent, a good method of computing the molecular surface is needed. Three kinds of surfaces may be used: the van der Waals Surface, the Accessible Surface, and the Molecular Surface. The latter is redefined in this article

The viscosity of polymer/solvent systems is modeled as a function of composition under the premises that the dissipation of energy is taking place at the molecular interfaces and that the friction between solvent and solute varies with composition due to a change in the flow mechanism (drainage of c
