聚合物的玻璃化转变和孤立链的内旋转异构化能

玻璃化转变时的自由体积,对不同结构的聚合物不是常数,已由实验得到了说明。其原因是玻璃化转变时的体积膨胀系数部分地来自分子链构象变化的贡献。本文在文献[2]和[5]的基础上将Dimarzio定义的链倔硬能(?)与Lipotov关于玻璃化自由体积表达式联系起来,得到了T_g时的自由体积和孤立链的内旋转异构化能的关系式 上式的计算值和文献值较为一致,因此可以作为估算孤立链柔顺性参数的方法。

Molecular dynamics simulation of surface morphology and thermodynamic properties of polyaniline nanostructured film

To develop predictive models in nanostructured films, there is an ongoing research to validate molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results with experimental data. The morphology and surface topography of polyaniline (PANI) nanostructured film coated on a TiO₂ nanocrystalline surface were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The atomistic model of the simulated PANI was generated using energy minimization with a condensed‐phase optimized molecular potential for atomistic studies force field function to reach a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Various parameters of PANI such as density, energy, cavity size, and free volume distributions are calculated. MD simulation has also been used to obtain specific volume (V) as a function of temperature (T). It is demonstrated that this V–T curve can be used to determinate glass transition temperature T_g, reliably. Although experimental data available for the PANI film are very limited, simulation results such as density and T_g are in good agreement with the experimental values reported in the literature. Comparison of the surface topography of PANI demonstrates a reasonable trend between atomic force microscopy image analysis and the MD simulation results at various temperatures.

KiSThelP: A program to predict thermodynamic properties and rate constants from quantum chemistry results†

Kinetic and Statistical Thermodynamical Package (KiSThelP) is a cross‐platform free open‐source program developed to estimate molecular and reaction properties from electronic structure data. To date, three computational chemistry software formats are supported (Gaussian, GAMESS, and NWChem). Some key features are: gas‐phase molecular thermodynamic properties (offering hindered rotor treatment), thermal equilibrium constants, transition state theory rate coefficients (transition state theory (TST), variational transition state theory (VTST)) including one‐dimensional (1D) tunnelling effects (Wigner, and Eckart) and Rice‐Ramsperger‐Kassel‐Marcus (RRKM) rate constants, for elementary reactions with well‐defined barriers. KiSThelP is intended as a working tool both for the general public and also for more expert users. It provides graphical front‐end capabilities designed to facilitate calculations and interpreting results. KiSThelP enables to change input data and simulation parameters directly through the graphical user interface and to visually probe how it affects results. Users can access results in the form of graphs and tables. The graphical tool offers customizing of 2D plots, exporting images and data files. These features make this program also well‐suited to support and enhance students learning and can serve as a very attractive courseware, taking the teaching content directly from results in molecular and kinetic modelling. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

The safer chemical design game. Gamification of green chemistry and safer chemical design concepts for high school and undergraduate students

Green chemistry can strongly attract students to chemistry. We, therefore, developed a green chemistry educational game that motivates students at the undergraduate and advanced high school levels to consider green chemistry and sustainability concerns as they design a hypothetical, chemical product. The game is intended for incorporation into any chemistry course for majors and non-majors that teaches sustainability and/or the Principles of Green Chemistry at the undergraduate level. The game is free of charge and encourages students to think like professional chemical designers and to develop a chemical product with respect to function and improved human and environmental health. This computer simulation has been assessed by educators and can be seamlessly integrated into an existing curriculum.

Box length search algorithm for molecular simulation of systems containing periodic structures

We have developed a box length search algorithm to efficiently find the appropriate box dimensions for constant-volume molecular simulation of periodic structures. The algorithm works by finding the box lengths that equalize the pressure in each direction while maintaining constant total volume. Maintaining the volume at a fixed value ensures that quantitative comparisons can be made between simulation and experimental, theoretical or other simulation results for systems that are incompressible or nearly incompressible. We test the algorithm on a system of phase-separated block copolymers that has a preferred box length in one dimension. We also describe and test a Monte Carlo algorithm that allows the box lengths to change while maintaining constant volume. We find that the box length search algorithm converges at least two orders of magnitude more quickly than the variable box length Monte Carlo method. Although the box length search algorithm is not ergodic, it successfully finds the box length that minimizes the free energy of the system. We verify this by examining the free energy as determined by the Monte Carlo simulation.     

Modeling of phase equilibrium and vapor adsorption on carbon black based on a combination of a lattice theory and equation of state

A thermodynamic approach is developed in this paper to describe the behavior of a subcritical fluid in the neighborhood of vapor-liquid interface and close to a graphite surface. The fluid is modeled as a system of parallel molecular layers. The Helmholtz free energy of the fluid is expressed as the sum of the intrinsic Helmholtz free energies of separate layers and the potential energy of their mutual interactions calculated by the 10-4 potential. This Helmholtz free energy is described by an equation of state (such as the Bender or Peng-Robinson equation), which allows us a convenient means to obtain the intrinsic Helmholtz free energy of each molecular layer as a function of its two-dimensional density. All molecular layers of the bulk fluid are in mechanical equilibrium corresponding to the minimum of the total potential energy. In the case of adsorption the external potential exerted by the graphite layers is added to the free energy. The state of the interface zone between the liquid and the vapor phases or the state of the adsorbed phase is determined by the minimum of the grand potential. In the case of phase equilibrium the approach leads to the distribution of density and pressure over the transition zone. The interrelation between the collision diameter and the potential well depth was determined by the surface tension. It was shown that the distance between neighboring molecular layers substantially changes in the vapor-liquid transition zone and in the adsorbed phase with loading. The approach is considered in this paper for the case of adsorption of argon and nitrogen on carbon black. In both cases an excellent agreement with the experimental data was achieved without additional assumptions and fitting parameters, except for the fluid-solid potential well depth. The approach has far-reaching consequences and can be readily extended to the model of adsorption in slit pores of carbonaceous materials and to the analysis of multicomponent adsorption systems.
