HBP Builder: A Tool to Generate Hyperbranched Polymers and Hyperbranched Multi-Arm Copolymers for Coarse-grained and Fully Atomistic Molecular Simulations
Computer simulation has been becoming a versatile tool that can investigate detailed information from the microscopic scale to the mesoscopic scale. However, the crucial first step of molecular simulation is model building, particularly for hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) and hyperbranched multi-arm copolymers (HBMCs) with complex and various topological structures. Unlike well-defined polymers, ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Molecular Architecture of Hyperbranched Polymers
Hyperbranched polymers constitute a unique class of branched macromolecules, where structural complexity is complemented by relative ease of synthesis. The increasing interest in the study of these materials is due to their distinctive properties, inherently tied to their complex molecular architecture, and is augmented by the continual growth of applications like catalysis, viscosity modifiers...
متن کاملMulti-Scale Simulation of Hyperbranched Polymers
In a previous work, we described a multi-scale protocol for the simulation of the conformation and dynamics of macromolecules that was applied to dendrimer molecules proving its predictive capability by comparison with experimental data. That scheme is now employed in order to predict conformational properties (radius of gyration) and overall hydrodynamic properties (translational diffusion and...
متن کاملlow stress acrylated hyperbranched polymers
The objective of this study was to investigate the behavior of highly functional acrylates, during isothermal ultraviolet (UV) curing. The materials included a penta-functional acrylate and two acrylated hyperbranched polymers, one with a stiff polyester core and one with a more flexible polyether core. In particular, the influence of UV intensity and reactive blend composition on structural tr...
متن کاملMembrane Functionalization with Hyperbranched Polymers
Polymer membranes have been modified with hyperbranched polymers with the aim to generate a high density of hydrophilic functional groups at the membrane surface. For this purpose hyperbranched polymers containing amino, alcohol, and carboxylic acid end groups were used for membrane modification, respectively. Thus, surface potential and charges were changed significantly to result in attractiv...
