Computer simulations play a dominating role in our investigions of the static and dynamic physical properties of polymers. A substantial part of this work is performed in collaboration with academicians in other
countries. Examples from Germany, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey are cited below, in the order of the beginning date of the collaboration:
- Enrique Saiz, Professor, Departamento de Qufmica Ffsica, Universidad de Alcald, Alcald de Henares, Spain. 14 refereed publications coauthored with
Prof. Saiz over two decades, 19781.998. The first and most recent publications are cited.21,22
- Francisco Mendicuti, Professor, Departamento de Qufmica Ffsica, Universidad de Alcald, AlcalA de Henares, Spain. 35 refereed publications coauthored with Prof. Mendicuti and his highly productive group over the decade
19881998. The first and most recent publications are cited. 22,23
- Ivet Bahar, Director, Polymer Research Center, Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. 15 refereed publications coauthored with Prof. Bahar between 1988-1997, the first and most recent are cited. 24,25
- Tiirkan Haliloolu, Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Bogazici University, Turkey. 12 referred publications coauthored with Prof. Haliloglu, 19931998, with the first and most recent cited.
26,27
- Ulrich Suter, Professor, Institut fr Polymere, Eidgenssische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), Zurich, a book and two major reviews, 19941998. 28-30
- Julio Bravo, Associate Professor, Departamento de Ingenierfa Industrial, Carlos III Universidad, Leganos, Spain. refereed publications coauthored with Prof. Bravo, 1994-1996, with the first and most recent cited.

- Burak Erman, Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. 4 refereed publications coauthored with Prof. Erman, 19961997, with the first and most recent cited. 25,33
- Junhan Cho, Assistant Professor, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Dankook University, Seoul, Korea. 2 refereed publications, in 1997, and a submission in 1998. 34,35
- Kurt Binder, Professor, Institut fur Physik, JohannesGutenberg,University, Mainz, Germany, 1998. 35,36
- Kurt Kremer, Director, MaxPlanckInstitut fur Polymerforschung, Mainz, Germany, 1998.

Various portions of the collaborations with Saiz, Bahar, Haliloglu, Suter, Erman, and Binder have been supported, in part, by grants from the Division
of International Programs of the National Science Foundation. Several publications that developed from these international collaborations involve the computation by Molecular Dynamics or Monte Carlo techniques, and subsequent
analysis, of enormous files that contain the history of models of dense polymers. The computation might be carried out in one country, but some (or all) of the analysis conducted in another country. Rapid transmittal of large files
facilitates this type of collaboration. [top]
