Crosslinking computer prediction

The computer-assisted modelling of formation of the epoxy-amine networks indicates that the density fluctuations of the crosslinks does not exceed the value predicted by the statistical theory, which is much lower than the size of the globules in... 

Therefore, the complete methods of calculation of the characteristics of crosslinked networks was proposed, which combines the ruhher high-elasticity entropic theory, the cluster model of amorphous state structure of polymers and fractal analysis methods. The proposed method has shown that growth in statistical segment length is observed as the drawing ratio increases. This snpposes that the chain statistical flexibility depends not only on its chemical constitntion, but also on the network deformed state. The considered method can be nsed for computer simulation and prediction of the structure of crosslinked polymer networks [6].
