Computer simulation has recently attracted much attention from both academia and indus-
try because it provides much useful information on polymers, particularly multiphase pol-
ymer systems, which are not easily obtained by experiment. puter simulation ap-
proaches for multiphase polymer systems may be classified into three modeling methods
according to their levels of approximation, ., atomistic, coarse-grained, and atomistic-
continuum modeling. In this article the three methods are applied to miscibility of polymer
blends, compatibilizing effect of block copolymers, and mechanical properties of semicrys-
talline polymers, respectively, and their results pared with experimental ones.
Keywords. Molecular simulation, Monte Carlo simulation, Block copolymer, Semicrystalline
polymer
