Epoxy resins with a network structure, which are obtained by curing reactions of epoxy and
amine compounds, are an important class of thermosetting resins. We here report the …

In general, the network structure formed in epoxy resins is heterogeneous, and its extent is
dependent on the curing temperature. Based on Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in …

We studied the local chain dynamics as well as the dynamic heterogeneity in highly cross-
linked epoxy near glass transition by molecular dynamics simulation. In previous work (Lin …

Epoxy resins are composed of a three-dimensional network formed by chemical reactions
between epoxy and amino compounds, which plays an important role in the mechanical …

Molecular modeling of thermosetting polymers has been presented with special emphasis
on building atomistic models. Different approaches to build highly cross-linked polymer …

This paper presents a new computational method for simulating polymer network formation.
There are four separate procedures involved in the methodology for this multiscale …

We model bond formation and dissociation processes in thermosetting polymer networks
from molecular dynamics simulations. For this, a coarsened molecular mechanics model is …

We propose a multiscale simulation strategy to study the interplay between diffusion and
curing reaction on the network formation and the corresponding mechanical properties of …

Thermoset polymers are used for a wide range of application from large airframes to
microelectronics and fundamental understanding of the development of their 3D network …

Experimental studies on epoxies report that the microstructure consists of highly crosslinked
localized regions connected with a dispersed phase of low-crosslink density epoxy …
