The Relationship between Free Volume and Cooperative Rearrangement: From the Temperature-Dependent Neutron Total Scattering Experiment of Polystyrene. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13183042.

Abstract
Although many theories have been proposed to describe the nature of glass formation, its microscopic picture is still missing. Here, by a combination of neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation, we present the temperature-dependent atomic structure variation of polystyrene at the glass formation, free volume and cooperative rearrangement. When it is close to glass formation, the polymer is confined in tubes, whose diameter is the main chain–main chain distance, in a “static cage” from its neighbors. This definition can not only account for the kinetic pathway dependence of Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) free volume, but also be testified in a set of six polymers. However, the free volume which allows a monomer to move cannot be found in any frame of its real-space image. Monomers, thus, have to move cooperatively to be out of the cage. During glass formation, dynamic heterogeneity develops, and string-like cooperative rearrangement region (CRR) grows over a long range of time and length scales. All of these CRRs tend to walk through loose “static cages”. Our observation unifies the concepts of free volume and cooperative rearrangement. The former is a statistical average leading to a polydisperse “static cage” formation; while a loose “static cage” provides the way that CRRs move.

Abstract
Composite materials possessing both crystalline and amorphous domains, when subjected to X-ray and neutron scattering, generate diffraction patterns that are often difficult to interpret. One approach is to perform atomistic simulations of a proposed structure, from which the analogous diffraction pattern can be obtained for validation. The structure can be iteratively refined until simulation and experiment agree. The practical drawback to this approach is the significant computational resources required for the simulations. In this work, an alternative approach based on a hierarchical decomposition of the radial distribution function is used to generate a physics-based model allowing rapid interpretation of scattering data. In order to demonstrate the breadth of this approach, it is applied to a series of carbon composites. The model is compared with atomistic simulation results in order to demonstrate that the contributions of the crystalline and amorphous domains, as well as their interfaces, are correctly captured. Because the model is more efficient, additional structural refinement is performed to increase the agreement of the simulation result with the experimental data. The model achieves a reduction in computational effort of six orders of magnitude relative to simulation. The model can be generally extended to other composite materials.

Abstract
The occurrence of glass transition is believed to be associated to cooperative motion with a growing length scale with decreasing temperature. We provide a route to calculate the size of cooperatively rearranging regions (CRR) of glass-forming polymers combining the Adam-Gibbs theory of the glass transition with the self-concentration concept. To do so we explore the dynamics of glass-forming polymers in different environments. The material specific parameter alpha connecting the size of the CRR to the configurational entropy is obtained in this way. Thereby, the size of CRR can be precisely quantified in absolute values. This size results to be in the range 1-3nm at the glass transition temperature depending on the glass-forming polymer.

Abstract
In fluorescence emission spectra of poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK), two types of excimers are observed, the fully and the partially overlapped excimers, namely, excimers and exciplexes. In this work, we investigated the structural changes induced by the transition between electronic levels S(0) and S(1). Furthermore, the widely used assumption of similar potential energy surfaces in the S(0) and S(1) states and its use in molecular dynamics simulations are thoroughly examined for PVK and polystyrene (PS). The ground-state and excited-state intermolecular potentials between phenyl or carbazyl substituents in PS or PVK, respectively, are computed from high-level ab initio calculations and fit to analytic potentials. Finally, molecular dynamics simulations are performed at room temperature for PS and for isotactic and syndiotactic PVK. This treatment enabled the decoupling of excimer and exciplex contributions from the simulated spectra.

Abstract
We introduce the Cohesive Energy Density (CED) method, a multiple sampling Molecular Dynamics computer simulation procedure that may offer higher consistency in the estimation of Hildebrand and Hansen solubility parameters. The use of a multiple sampling technique, combined with a simple but consistent molecular force field and quantum mechanically determined atomic charges, allows for the precise determination of solubility parameters in a systematic way (sigma = 0.4 hildebrands). The CED method yields first-principles Hildebrand parameter predictions in good agreement with experiment [root-mean-square (rms) = 1.1 hildebrands]. We apply the CED method to model the Caltech electronic nose, an array of 20 polymer sensors. Sensors are built with conducting leads connected through thin-film polymers loaded with carbon black. Odorant detection relies on a change in electric resistivity of the polymer film as function of the amount of swelling caused by the odorant compound. The amount of swelling depends upon the chemical composition of the polymer and the odorant molecule. The pattern is unique, and unambiguously identifies the compound. Experimentally determined changes in relative resistivity of seven polymer sensors upon exposure to 24 solvent vapors were modeled with the CED estimated Hansen solubility components. Predictions of polymer sensor responses result in Pearson R2 coefficients between 0.82 and 0.99.
