Future work:
• improve hard model (FMF) to better represent period
• check rigidity by simulation
• incorporate polydispersity into the model
• incorporate attraction in the theory

Let's take a look at the element silicon for a moment. You can see that it's right beneath carbon in the periodic chart. As you may
remember, elements in the same column or group on the periodic chart often have very similar properties. So, if carbon can form long
polymer chains, then silicon should be able to as well. Right?
Right. It took a long time to make it happen, but silicon atoms have been made into long polymer chains. It was in the 1920's and 30's
that chemists began to figure out that organic polymers were made of long carbon chains, but serious investigation of polysilanes wasn't
carried out until the late seventies. Earlier, in 1949, about the same time that novelist Kurt Vonnegut was working for the public relations department at General Electric, C.A.
Burkhard was working in G.E.'s research and development department. He invented a polysilane called polydimethylsilane, but it
wasn't much good for anything. It looked like this:
