Abstract: The computer simulation of polymer system with limited chain length and high density was performed on a square lattice in order to study the details of the disordered vs ordered states of bulk polymers as a function of chain flexibility and temperature.The static and dynamic properties of athermal chain systems are in agreement with polymer melts.Assuming an intramolecular energy Ec and an intermolecular energy Ep, we have simulated metastable nematic ordered state and lamellar ordered state by introducing Ep/Ec=0 and Ep/Ec=l respectively.The relation of these results to the real symmetrical polymers such aspolyethylene was discussed.Also, the trends of chain regular folding were observed in these metastable ordered states.
