67. Some authors prefer to conduct these atomistic simulations in a condensed phase [typically, the melt state or an aqueous solution]. Gas-phase simulations have been consistently adopted by the Kremer group. See, for example, their recent work on polystyrene:, D. Fritz, V. A. Harmandaris, K. Kremer, N. F. A. van der Vegt, Macromolecules 2009, 42, 7579.
