“…Another interesting direction for future work could be to fit other families of probability distributions, either generic [39] or theoretical [14,15], and to determine whether the CP estimates obtained from such distributions are more reliable and easier to compute than those obtained from fitted EGLD cdfs. Although the method we presented is aimed at accelerating efforts to elucidate the spatial organization of chromatin, the ability to estimate CPs efficiently from simulations of polymer chains may be also beneficial to research in topics as diverse as globule formation in multiblock copolymers [40] or reaction kinetics in macromolecules with reactive groups [41].…”

“…Copolymers are directly related to critical technological applications; for example, they are utilized as thermoplastic elastomers, pressure-sensitive hot-melt adhesives, drug delivery systems, in the field of nanopatterning and surface modification, , polymer mixing, and so forth. Various studies based on analytical or computational methods , have explored the properties of random copolymers, their phase behavior, and the order–disorder transition demonstrating the significance of their structural and chemical correlations. ,, In all these studies, due to the underlying chemical complexity, the need for accurate models is highlighted. Among copolymers, polybutadiene (PB) holds an unique position in the rubber industry.…”

“…The concept of “small globules” showing a large variety of different globular morphologies in a single chain of finite length consisting of flexible and stiff segments was discussed for the first time in [33]. Computer simulations of different models for single chains of multiblock copolymers were performed in [34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41] to study morphological transitions, in particular the collapse of flexible-semiflexible multiblock copolymers in selective solvents [36], the collapse of flexible AB-multiblock copolymers in selective solvents [35,37,38,39,40,41], and the phase transitions in protein-like AB- and HPmultiblock copolymers [34]. Furthermore, a self-consistent-field theory was developed in [42] to study transitions in a rod-coil multiblock globule, and three different possible morphologies were identified: cols, amorphous globules, and nematic Liquid-Crystalline (LC) globules.…”
