Predicting the Glass Transition Temperature of Biopolymers via High-Throughput Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Machine Learning [PDF]
Nature has only provided us with a limited number of bio-based and biodegradable building blocks. Therefore, the fine tuning of the sustainable polymer properties is expected to be achieved through the control of the composition of bio-based copolymers ...

Molecular Signatures of the Glass Transition in Polymers [PDF]
The glass transition temperature (Tg) is one of the most fundamental properties of polymers. Tg is predicted as a sudden change in a “macroscopic” quantity (e.g. compressibility).

Second-order Phase Transition Behavior behind Polymer Glass Transition [PDF]
Glass transition has similarity to the second-order phase transition in temperature dependent changes in entropy, non-Arrhenius viscosity, and heat capacity of glass forming materials. However, it has primarily been considered to be not phase transition.

Study on the temperature dependence of the bulk modulus of polyisoprene by molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
The temperature dependence of the bulk modulus of polyisoprene has been studied using molecular dynamics simulations. Virtual polyisoprenes have been submitted to volume contractions above and below the glass transition. Bulk modulus has been observed to

Electron anions and the glass transition temperature [PDF]
Significance Electrides are ionic materials in which electrons act as anions. Solvated electrons in ammonia are one of the early known examples of such anions in liquids. Electron anions in crystalline materials have previously been shown to dramatically alter their electronic properties, for example, to turn an insulator into a ...

Temperature dependence of the interfacial shear strength in glass-fibre epoxy composites [PDF]
The present work focuses on further investigation of the hypothesis that a significant fraction of apparent interfacial shear strength (IFSS) in fibre-reinforced composites can be attributed to a combination of residual radial compressive stress and ...
