In this paper we present the results of an extensive Monte Carlo lattice simulation of two dimensional dense athermal polymer solutions using the Cooperative Motion Algorithm (CMA). Simulations were performed for a wide range of polymer chain length N which varies from 32 to 1024 and for high concentration of polymer. Our results were compared with those obtained by means of molecular dynamics [1].
