Towards Multiscale Simulations of Filled and Nanofilled Polymers

Abstract

We perform simulations of filled and nanofilled polymers using a combination of molecular and mesoscale simulation techniques. Molecular dynamics simulations provide insight into the effect of a nanoscopic filler on the structure, dynamics, and glass transition of a low molecular weight melt. Time dependent Ginzberg-Landau simulations show the effect of fillers on the mesoscale structure of phase separating blends. Finite element techniques are used to predict the mechanical properties of these mesostructures.
