Abstract

We carried out a Cellular Automata simulation of a model polyelectrolyte solution at infinite dilution, in order to reproduce qualitatively its conformational properties. Our results predict the so called pearl necklace structures, which compare favorably with the more elaborated and costly Molecular Dynamics simulations.
