Abstract Scope |
Free volumes are present in all polymers, regardless of whether they are thermoplastic or thermoset. However, not much is known about the forces present within these free volumes (primarily due to the complexity of experiments to probe these regions). This first-of-a-kind simulation work shows how secondary bonds, such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions within these free volumes, define the mechanical response of a thermoset polymer resin (DGEBA/DETDA).
