1. Introduction

Shock response of polymers

Submitted by Nuwan Dewapriya on

Our latest article “Quantum and classical molecular dynamics simulations of shocked polyurea and polyurethane” is available freely for 50 days from this URL: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1eJem3In-urdzV

 

 

Highlights of the article are as follows:

• Quantum molecular dynamics were used to compute shock Hugoniot data up to 75 GPa.

• The shock response of polyurea and polyurethane are remarkably similar.

On the consequences of cross-link dissociation in hydrogels

Submitted by noyco on

The submersion of a polymer network with a high density of hydrogen bond based cross-links in an aqueous bath results in the formation of a rubber-like hydrogel. The cross-links, which connect chains and maintain the structure of the network, can dissociate as a result of two main factors: (1) the interactions between the hydrogen bonds and the surrounding water molecules and (2) the forces that are exerted on the cross-link from the interconnected chains.
