Simulations with mcPolymer are based on the concept of fundamental reaction templates. Thus, mcPolymer is very versatile and applicable to very different Simulations with mcPolymer are based on the concept of fundamental reaction templates. Thus, mcPolymer is very versatile and applicable to very different
types of polymerizations. mcPolymer is mainly applied to model radical polymerizations, e.g., simulations of reversible deactivation radical polymerizations, types of polymerizations. mcPolymer is mainly applied to model radical polymerizations, e.g., simulations of reversible deactivation radical polymerizations, or simulation of acrylate polymerizations with backbiting and transfer to polymer reactions. A kMC model for acrylate radical polymerization may consist of more than 40 elemental reactions, which proceed in parallel, and the same number of kinetic coefficients. Since the concentrations of reactants may cover eight to nine decadic orders of magnitude, 10E10 to 10E11 molecules have to be accounted for. The sophisticated modular structure of mcPolymer allows for the integration of the simulator

This section gives an introduction on how to build mcPolymer on a Linux system using run make command. However you can also use e.g. a Microsoft Visual Studio setup to build the software; there are no platform specific dependencies. You may also consider running a Windows subsystem for Linux setup (WSL2 e.g. 24.04.2 LTS) on a Windows Desktop.
