Molecular modelling of the physical and mechanical properties of two polycyanurate network polymers
Abstract
Elastic moduli and glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of two polycyanurates, based on the dicyanates of bisphenol A and an oligomeric poly(arylene ether sulfone), have been predicted from molecular simulation. The simulated mechanical and physical parameters offer reasonable agreement with the experimental values. This is one of the first preliminary reports of the prediction of properties of a network polymer.
