A Quantum-Based Approach to Predict Primary Radiation Damage in Polymeric Networks

Matthew P. Kroonblawd et al.

Summary: An automated graph-based approach was developed to extract chemically distinct structures sampled in quantum-based molecular dynamics simulations to predict primary radiation damage of polydimethylsiloxane. It revealed a higher degree of combinatorial complexity in the system than inferred through experiments, providing a basis for future modeling of radiation damage.

Gamma Radiation Chemistry of Polydimethylsiloxane Foam in Radiation-Thermal Environments: Experiments and Simulations

Qiang Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the gamma radiolysis behavior of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in radiation-thermal environments, revealing the complex temperature effects on the formation of gas products, paramagnetic species, and cross-linking density. Molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical calculations are used to elucidate the crucial role of radiation-induced radicals in gas formation and cross-linking reactions in PDMS. The research highlights the importance of radical chemistry in understanding and simulating the radiolysis behavior of PDMS.

Constitutive Model of Radiation Aging Effects in Filled Silicone Elastomers under Strain

A. Maiti et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of gamma radiation on filled silicone rubber, showing that the observed mechanical and structural changes can be quantitatively modeled within the same theoretical framework developed for unfilled elastomers when considering the nuances associated with the Mullins effect. The research concludes that gamma radiation induces both direct cross-linking at chain crossings and main-chain-scion followed by cross-linking, providing insight into the stability of radicals formed upon radiation-induced chain-scission.

Fourier-like Thermal Relaxation of Nanoscale Explosive Hot Spots

Matthew P. Kroonblawd et al.

Summary: A method combining molecular dynamics and diffusive heat equation modeling is developed to directly determine the thermal transport properties of explosive hot spots. The approach yields information on reasonable approximations for higher-level models and provides a basis for studying hot spot problems in other explosives.
