Abstract
. The aim of our research was to conduct a computational study on helical geometries of several homopolymers. Simple helix of polymers with seventeen (poly(lactic acid)) or eighteen (poly(1-chloro-trans-1-butenylene), poly(1-methyl-trans-1-butenylene), poly(1,4,4-trifluoro-trans-1-butenylene), polyacrylonitrile and respectively polychlorotrifluoroethylene) monomers were investigated. The X, Y, and Z coordinates obtained after optimization of the geometry of polymers were used as input data to identify the rotation and translation of the coordinates and respectively the coefficient of the helix. The values of interest were calculated by minimization of residuals using two different protocols. The first protocol investigated the whole polymer by imposing (step a fixed value of the helix by minimization of if the monomer (one or two) from each end of the is or not an outlier of the helical geometry of the
