Annotation

A number of homopolymers and copolymers are studied in numerical experiments with allowance for the realistic chemical structure of macromolecules. The method of molecular dynamics is used to determine the temperature of the coil-globule transition in a single macromolecule of N-isopropylacrylamide, as well as to study the coil-globule transition temperature in relation to the degree of fragmentation of N-isopropylacrylamide and methacrylic acid copolymers.
