Introduction Definition: Equilibrium polymers with annealed (thermalized) mass distribution Wormlike micelles Coarse-grained (bead-spring) polymer model Cylindrical micelles COARSE GRAINING k k r s Surfactant Equilibrium polymer B E General interest: - Test of theoretical models (static + dynamics) for dead polymers - Dynamics: B E 10k B T for topological constraints (reptation) - Fast equilibration for B 0, ease to work grand-canonically Focus here: - Good solvents (v > 0), d = 3, flexible chains ( isotropic solutions) - Long chains (E 1 N 1) at large densities (ρ ρ 1) - Rouse dynamics: B 1k B T

Perspectives MD code (DPD, Lattice Boltzmann) with stiffness and (weak) branching Larger barrier needed to obtain entangled dynamics: - Levy flight dynamics (Langevin, Bouchaud)?! - Viscosity around ρ, role of rings?
