Description
Glassy polymer is formed because the irregular chain architecture prevents crystallisation. Computer simulations allow Voronoi tessellation of atomic groups (for example monomers) to be carried out and measured along the molecular chain, which reveals significant density fluctuations. A Voronoi polyhedron is constructed for each particle according to a unique mathematical procedure [J Reiner Angew Math 134 (1908) 198]. When measured in terms of Voronoi polyhedra, amorphous structures show wide...[Show more]
