Scientific paper

We introduce an algorithm for the reduction of computer generated atomistic polymer samples to networks of primitive paths. By examining network ensembles of Polyethylene and cis-1,4 Polybutadiene melts, we quantify the underlying topologies through the radial distribution function of entanglements and the distribution of the number of monomers between entanglements. A suitable scaling of acquired data leads to a unifying microscopic topological description of both melts.
