Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Atomistic modeling is crucial for high-performance composite materials.
  • A standardized, open-source method for simulating polymer cross-linking is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose, test, and validate a Molecular Dynamics (MD) protocol for simulating epoxy resin cross-linking.
  • To develop a flexible and adaptable approach for in silico investigation of thermosetting polymers.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an in-house Python and LAMMPS code for MD simulations.
  • Modeled dynamic epoxy network formation using distance-based constraints on reactive sites.
  • Validated the protocol by comparing computed density, thermal conductivity, and elastic response with experimental data.

Main Results:

  • The MD protocol successfully generated epoxy resin structures with high cross-linking degrees.
  • Simulated material properties showed strong agreement with literature experimental data.
  • The method confirmed its feasibility for further in silico studies and analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The validated MD protocol offers a robust approach for simulating epoxy resin cross-linking.
  • This method can be adapted for various epoxy resins and curing agents.
  • The study advances the in silico design and analysis of advanced composite materials.
