Abstract/Description
Polymer chains exhibit various behaviors that can be analyzed by graphing their order parameters. In our research, we use Monte Carlo simulations to model polymer chains and study their properties. We hope to apply clustering algorithms to the resulting graphs so we can efficiently classify different chain structures and enhance our understanding of their behavior.
