## Abstract A uniform star‐branched polymer model with __f__ = 3 arms based on a simple cubic lattice was studied by means of the dynamic Monte Carlo method. The model chain is athermal with excluded‐volume interactions and it is flexible. A new type of local micromodification was introduced to mak

## Abstract A simple cubic lattice model of the melt of 3‐arm star‐branched polymers of various length dissolved in a matrix of long linear chains (__n__~1~ = 800 beads) is studied using a dynamic Monte Carlo method. The total polymer volume fraction is equal to 0,5, while the volume fraction of th
## Abstract By use of the pivot algorithm, star‐branched chains with __F__ = 4, 8 and 12 arms of length __n__ and linear chains (__F__ = 2) are generated on a tetrahedral lattice (120 ⩽ __nF__ ⩽ 3 840). By taking into account non‐bonded nearest‐neighbour interactions (each contact contributes an en
## Abstract By use of the pivot algorithm, star‐branched chains with __F__ = 3–12 arms of length __n, nF__ = 480, and linear chains (__F__ = 2) are generated on a tetrahedral lattice. In order to simulate different qualities of the solvent, specific short‐range interactions are taken into account.
