The effect of network topology on material properties in vinyl-ester/styrene thermoset polymers using molecular dynamics simulations and time–temperature superposition

/
The time–temperature superposition principle (TTSP) is a promising tool for filling the time-scale gap between molecular dynamics simulation and experiments in polymer systems. Here we propose a molecular dynamics approach to generate vinyl-ester (VE)/styrene (ST) thermoset modulus master curves that are comparable to experiments.

The effect of resin-rich layers on mechanical properties of 3D printed woven fiber-reinforced composites

/
Composites for aerospace and automotive industries trend towards maximizing fiber volume fraction. In such applications, the design criteria typically maximize material stiffness with little concern for strength, and elongation at break. However, several fiber-composite applications would benefit from improved strength, and elongation at break.
