利用类自由基聚合生成粗粒度模型的聚合物链
Polymer chain generation for coarse-grained models using radical-like polymerization
摘要:
提出了一种新的聚合物熔体粗粒度模型构型生成方法。这种方法主要受到化学“自由基聚合”的启发,分为三个阶段:(i)自由基的成核(反应分子缓存单体);(ii)在单体溶剂中链的生长;(iii)终止:自由基的湮灭和残留单体的去除。这种方法的主要优点是在生成链时进行松弛。生成纯的单分散和多分散聚合物熔体,并与Auhl等人的推离法生成的构型进行比较。静态性能(回转半径,均方内部距离,缠结长度)的详细研究证实,自由基类聚合工艺是适合于产生平衡的熔体。该方法是灵活的,并且可以适于产生纳米结构的聚合物,即二嵌段和三嵌段共聚物。
英文摘要:
An innovative method is proposed to generate configurations of coarse grained models for polymer melts. This method, largely inspired by chemical ``radical polymerization'', is divided in three stages: (i) nucleation of radicals (reacting molecules caching monomers); (ii) growth of chains within a solvent of monomers; (iii) termination: annihilation of radicals and removal of residual monomers. The main interest of this method is that relaxation is performed as chains are generated. Pure mono and poly-disperse polymers melts are generated and compared to the configurations generated by the Push Off method from Auhl et al.. A detailed study of the static properties (gyration radius, mean square internal distance, entanglement length) confirms that the radical-like polymerization technics is suitable to generate equilibrated melts. The method is flexible, and can be adapted to generate nano-structured polymers, namely diblock and triblock copolymers.
