摘要

Abstract

It has been experimentally shown that epoxide-terminated hyperbranched polyether sulphone (EHBPES) can significantly improve the mechanical properties of traditional diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A/triethylenetetramine (DGEBA/TETA) systems

but the origin of the improvement is still unclear. In this work

we used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to gain a thorough understanding of the origin of modulus improvement for EHBPES/DGEBA/TETA systems. It is found that the modulus of EHBPES/DGEBA/TETA systems increases with the increase of EHBPES loading. In addition

the crosslinking density

cohesive energy density (CED)

and free volume can be used to understand the modulus for EHBPES/DGEBA/TETA systems. It is shown that the highest modulus is achieved at 7 wt% EHBPES loading due to the highest crosslinking density and CED. When EHBPES loading is below 7 wt%

the higher CED and crosslinking density are responsible for the higher modulus. At higher loadings (> 7 wt%)

the decreased modulus is closely related to the decreased crosslinking density and increased fractional free volume. It is expected that our results could be of great implications for designing high-performance epoxy materials.
