Examples of uses of SciPolymer
Examples of problems that can be addressed with SciPolymer 3.0 include:
- Compute & graph Tg for cross-linked polymer as function of the number repeat units between chains. The latter is treated as a variable in graphing the Tg.
- Compute and graph Tg as function of average number molecular weight.
- Compute Tb , the secondary glass transition temperature sometimes designated as Tg. This secondary temperature is associated with the onset of ductile behavior of polymers with increasing temperature under a mechanical deformation.
- Compute & graph the interfacial tension energy between polymers.
- Predict the best miscibility between a polymer & 300 common solvents automatically.
- Compute brittle fracture and crazing stress and yield for polymers.
To aid in problem solving, you can:
- Enter your own type of experimental properties by creating new property fields in SciPolymer other than those used for built-in properties. This is an important and useful feature for end-users with their own property data.
- Create a new property predictor equations based on your experimental property data for polymers of interest and incorporate the expression into the SciPolymer database. This allows the user to investigate how to compute property trends on their specific polymers.
