摘要

In order to describe the entangled network structure in polymer melts visually, we propose an evolving network model with community structure. This network model grows according to the inner-community and inter-community preferential mechanisms of both community sizes and node degrees. Numerical simulation results indicate that the cumulative distribution of community size and node degree distribution follow power-law distributions P(S >= s) similar to s(-upsilon) and P(k) similar to k(-gamma) respectively, with the exponents of upsilon >= 1 and gamma is an element of [0, infinity).
