Abstract
A new procedure for taking into account of the presence of hydrogen in molecular dynamics simulations of hydrocarbons, without sacrificing the advantages of the united atom model for methyl groups in speeding up the trajectory calculations, is presented. For demonstration purposes, the application of this procedure to a previously reported model for amorphous polyethylene (PE) is discussed.
