Abstract

In this paper we present results from Monte Carlo simulations for the phase diagrams of a model homopolymer system. The calculated phase diagrams are in principle exact, and we compare these results to approximate phase diagrams of Panagiotopoulos obtained by ignoring end effects on the chemical potential. Also, we consider the second virial coefficients of polymer model and compare the critical point extrapolated for infinite chain length with the θ temperature for this chain model.
