Molecular modelling of high performance polymers

Progress on the molecular modelling of polymers is described based on examples studied in our laboratory. Simulation of the physico‐mechanical properties of a linear epoxy resin, a linear polyarylethersulphone and two network‐forming polycyanurates are described. The simulated constants are compared...

More Information
Summary:Progress on the molecular modelling of polymers is described based on examples studied in our laboratory. Simulation of the physico‐mechanical properties of a linear epoxy resin, a linear polyarylethersulphone and two network‐forming polycyanurates are described. The simulated constants are compared in all instances to experimentally determined constants to provide a means of assessing the accuracy of the simulations. Reasonable constants can be produced for the examples cited from simulation using relatively unsophisticated models.
