Model Construction and Characterization of A Network Structure of Crosslinked Phenolic Resin by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Abstract

Model construction and characterization of a network structure of crosslinked phenolic resin were performed using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, in order to clarify the structure-property relationship in the cured resin. The constructed network structure was verified by chemical structure, molecular weight, and scattering functions of various degree of crosslink.
