Polycon can be considered as a tool with which theformation of polymers as a result of polycondensation
reactions can be followed and evaluated. A 'Monte Carlo'
simulation of random collisions between virtual particles
with a certain functionality causes the formation of links
(ester bonds). Furthermore this program may be used for
analytical purposes:
- Identifying molecules of which the weight has been
determined analytically (GC-MS) by running simulations until
a molecule with the desired weight is found.
- Calibration of GPC


CONTAINER.

The Zipped package should contain the following:
- Two Installation disk directories.
- This file.


INSTALLATION

Copy the content of the Zip file to a directory of
your choice and unzip it. Either copy the directories of
disk 1 and 2 to floppies and run setup.exe, or run setup.exe
directly. The program will then be installed.


FEATURES.

- Runs under Windows 95/98/NT/ME/XP
- Number of particles involved can exceed 150,000 (dependent
of overall functionality)
- Reaction monitoring
- Defining the reactivity of functional groups
- Supports Ring opening reaction kinetics (eg OH - Anhydride)
- Evaluation of Moleculair Weight distribution
- Evaluation of each polymer molecule, formed during the
synthesis
- Extremely fast simulations due to assembly programming of
time consuming parts
- Any raw material with any OH or COOH functionality can be
processed
- Functional group evaluations
- Prediction of viscosity development and gelpoint
- File creation for in and output processing
- More than 1 synthesis steps can be involved (chain extension): this is the main difference compared to version 2.
