Unexpected Thermomechanical Behavior of Off-Stoichiometry Epoxy/Amine Materials

Jeffrey C. Foster et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that off-stoichiometric thermosets exhibit unique viscoelastic behavior due to increased free volume and physical interactions between chain ends. In order to understand the structural characteristics and their effects on properties, a Monte Carlo model based on step-growth polymerization was developed. The model accurately predicted the structure-property trends for a two-component system and highlighted the importance of spatial awareness in modeling the development of dynamic thermosets.

Structural Relaxation and Vitrification in Dense Cross-Linked Polymer Networks: Simulation, Theory, and Experiment

Baicheng Mei et al.

Summary: In this study, a coordinated experimental, simulation, and theoretical investigation was conducted to explore how permanent polymer network cross-links impact the segmental relaxation time at various temperatures and glass transition temperature criteria. The results showed that tight cross-linking leads to a significant increase in the segmental relaxation time and elevation of Tg, which grows roughly linearly with cross-link fraction beyond a certain threshold. Additionally, the use of cross-link fraction dependent dynamic Tg achieved a remarkably good collapse of Angell plots for different cross-link densities and dynamic vitrification time scale criteria. The findings were successfully explained by the elastically collective nonlinear Langevin equation (ECNLE) theory, demonstrating a microscopic understanding of the experimental and simulation observations in terms of cross-link fraction dependent coupled local cage and nonlocal collective elastic barriers. Overall, excellent agreement between experiment, theory, and simulation was observed.

Molecular Dynamic Investigation of the Structural and Mechanical Properties of Off-Stoichiometric Epoxy Resins

Chang Woon Jang et al.

Summary: This study utilized molecular dynamic simulations to calculate the mechanical properties of off-stoichiometric epoxy resins and characterize them based on their microscopic structures. It was found that reflow and mixing of HP/HR resins during bonding process can reduce surface contamination and produce reliable adhesive-free composite joints. However, incomplete mixing of the two resins may result in chemical heterogeneity of the cured polymeric joint.

Summary: Periodic molecular dynamics simulations are used for studying complex polymeric materials, such as the curing reaction of covalently cross-linked polymers. A connection between percolation theory and gel-point detection is delineated, with an algorithm provided for detecting percolation onset during polymer cross-linking. The algorithm is applied to simulations of an epoxy resin undergoing curing with an amine hardener, and compared with indirect gel point measurements.
