摘要:

提出了一种用于预测高分子量缠结聚合物熔体的动力学和流变学性质的分层(三重尺度)模拟方法。该方法包括原子,中等粗粒度(mCG),和高度粗粒度的滑簧(SLSP)模拟。在mCG水平上,一些化学键合的原子被集中到一个粗晶粒中。在这个层次上,原子系统的化学身份和链间拓扑约束(纠缠)被保留。通过迭代玻尔兹曼反演,将mCG模型的局部结构分布与原子模型的局部结构分布相匹配,得到mCG势。为了匹配mCG和原子动力学,mCG时间由时间缩放因子缩放,其补偿mCG模型的单体摩擦系数低于原子模型的单体摩擦系数。在SLSP水平上,聚合物链的多个Kuhn链段由一个粗粒珠表示。珠粒之间非常软的非键合相互作用不能防止链交叉,因此不能捕获缠结。拓扑约束由滑动弹簧表示。在SLSP模型中使用了一个补偿对势,以保持大分子的静态性质在引入滑簧后不变。在此基础上,确定了SLSP模型的静态和动态参数。特别是,匹配的方向自相关的端到端的矢量,我们确定的滑簧的数量和校准的时间尺度的SLSP模型。作为测试案例,在413 K下将分级方法应用于$cis$-1,4-聚丁二烯(cPB)。cPB熔体的动力学性质的计算范围很广的分子量。计算结果进行了比较,发现在良好的协议,与文献中的实验数据。

英文摘要:

A hierarchical (triple scale) simulation methodology is presented for the prediction of the dynamical and rheological properties of high molecular weight entangled polymer melts. The methodology consists of atomistic, moderately coarse-grained (mCG), and highly coarse-grained slip-spring (SLSP) simulations. At the mCG level, a few chemically bonded atoms are lumped into one coarse-grained bead. At this level, the chemical identity of the atomistic system, and the interchain topological constraints (entanglements) are preserved. The mCG potentials are derived by matching local structural distributions of the mCG model to those of the atomistic model through iterative Boltzmann inversion. For matching mCG and atomistic dynamics, the mCG time is scaled by a time scaling factor, which compensates for the lower monomeric friction coefficient of the mCG model than that of the atomistic one. At the SLSP level, multiple Kuhn segments of a polymer chain are represented by one coarse-grained bead. The very soft nonbonded interactions between beads do not prevent chain crossing and, hence, can not capture entanglements. The topological constraints are represented by slip-springs. A compensating pair potential is used in the SLSP model, to keep the static macromolecular properties unaltered upon the introduction of slip-springs. The static and kinetic parameters of the SLSP model are determined based on the lower level simulation models. Particularly, matching the orientational autocorrelation of the end-to-end vector, we determine the number of slip-springs and calibrate the timescale of the SLSP model. As the test case, the hierarchical methodology is applied to $cis$-1,4-polybutadiene (cPB) at 413 K. Dynamical properties of cPB melts are calculated for a broad range of molecular weights. The calculations are compared, and found in good agreement, with experimental data from the literature.
