Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of polymer simulation technology, and in particular to a method and system for evaluating the mechanical properties of aromatic heterocyclic polymers based on molecular simulation. Background Technology
[0002] Aromatic heterocyclic polymer fibers are a class of high-performance fibers characterized by lightweight, high strength, high modulus, and high heat resistance, finding wide applications in bulletproof protection and aerospace. They include aromatic heterocyclic polyamides (heterocyclic aramids), poly(p-phenylenebenzoxadiazole) (PBO), and aromatic polyimides (PI). With the rapid development of my country's national defense and aerospace industries, there is an urgent need to synthesize and prepare new aromatic heterocyclic polymer fiber materials with higher performance. Traditional experimental methods involve a long process from polymer synthesis to fiber processing, which is susceptible to various influences such as processing conditions and temperature, resulting in poor repeatability and time consumption.
[0003] Existing techniques typically calculate mechanical property evaluation parameters such as tensile fracture strength and modulus by establishing a three-dimensional crystallographic model. However, establishing a three-dimensional crystallographic model requires first resolving the polymer's unit cell structure through experiments such as single-crystal diffraction, which is not applicable to unknown new structural systems. Therefore, existing methods are not suitable for simulating novel heterocyclic aramid fiber materials with unknown structures. Summary of the Invention

[0033] To illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are described below.
[0034] Aromatic heterocyclic polymer fibers are a class of high-performance fibers characterized by lightweight, high strength, high modulus, and high heat resistance, finding wide applications in bulletproof protection and aerospace. They include aromatic heterocyclic polyamides (heterocyclic aramids), poly(p-phenylenebenzoxadiazole) (PBO), and aromatic polyimides (PI). With the rapid development of my country's national defense and aerospace industries, there is an urgent need to synthesize and prepare new aromatic heterocyclic polymer fiber materials with higher performance. Traditional experimental methods involve a long process from polymer synthesis to fiber processing, which is susceptible to various influences such as processing conditions and temperature, resulting in poor repeatability and time consumption.
[0035] Existing techniques typically calculate mechanical property evaluation parameters such as tensile fracture strength and modulus by establishing a three-dimensional crystallographic model. However, establishing a three-dimensional crystallographic model requires first resolving the polymer's unit cell structure through experiments such as single-crystal diffraction, which is not applicable to unknown new structural systems. Therefore, existing methods are not suitable for simulating novel heterocyclic aramid fiber materials with unknown structures.
[0036] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for evaluating the mechanical properties of aromatic heterocyclic polymers based on molecular simulation, which can quickly and efficiently evaluate the mechanical properties of aromatic heterocyclic polymer fibers with different structures without being limited by experimental conditions or affected by human factors.
[0037] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a molecular simulation-based method for evaluating the mechanical properties of aromatic heterocyclic polymers provided for the implementation of this invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned method for evaluating the mechanical properties of aromatic heterocyclic polymers based on molecular simulation may include:
[0038] S101, Based on the structural characteristic parameters of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer, the first structural model of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer is constructed;
[0039] The target aromatic heterocyclic polymers may include, but are not limited to, 4,4'-diphenyl ether diamine (4,4'-ODA), p-phenylenediamine (PDA), o-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (PDA-Cl), 2-(4-aminophenyl)-5-aminobenzoxazole (BOA), and 2-(4-aminophenyl)-5-aminobenzimidazole (PABZ), as well as combinations of pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3,4,4-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), terephthaloyl chloride (TPC), and biphenyl dicarboxylic chloride (BPC).
[0040] In some embodiments, the structural characteristic parameters of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer may include at least the repeating units, single-chain structure, structural parameters, and formulation components of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer. Step S101 specifically may include:
[0041] The repeating unit model of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer is drawn using dedicated modeling software, such as Materials Studio (MS). Then, based on the repeating unit model, a linear polymer is constructed using tools provided by the modeling software, such as `build`, by inputting the number of repeating units to obtain the single-chain structure of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer. The constructed single-chain structure can then be further optimized using the Forcite molecular dynamics calculation module to obtain the minimum energy conformation of the polymer molecular chain. Finally, based on the optimized single-chain structure, a model box containing a certain number of aromatic heterocyclic polymer single-chain structures can be built using model building tools; this is the first structural model described above.
[0042] The number and quantity of repeating units in the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer molecular chain can be selected based on the needs of the actual application, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this. Any existing modeling tool can be used, such as the Amorphous Cell module. The Amorphous Cell module is a tool for building amorphous models using the Monte Carlo method. It can be used to build polymer blend models, solution models, composite material models, solid-liquid / solid-gas interface models, pore-filling models, nematic liquid crystal models, etc., with multiple components and different ratios, and plays an important auxiliary role in simulation work in the fields of plastics, glass, food, chemicals, and composite materials.
[0043] S102, Perform configuration relaxation simulations of the first structural model using NPT and NVT ensembles to obtain the second structural model in a fully dynamic equilibrium state;
[0044] In some embodiments, before performing step S102 above, the first structural model may be further optimized.
[0045] For example, taking the Amorphous Cell module as the model building tool, after obtaining the first structural model, the model box built by the Amorphous Cell module can be structurally optimized through the molecular dynamics calculation module Forcite.
[0046] In some embodiments, the temperature and time for configurational relaxation simulations of the NPT and NVT ensembles can be determined based on the composition of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer.
[0047] It should be noted that the specific temperature and time during the relaxation process can be determined based on the conditions required for the system to reach kinetic equilibrium during the relaxation process. Different target aromatic heterocyclic polymers have different compositions, formulations, and other parameters, and therefore the required temperature and time for the relaxation process can also vary. In this embodiment of the invention, the temperature for each relaxation process can be set between 300K and 800K, and the time can be set between 0.5 and 2 ns.
[0048] For example, configurational relaxation simulations of the NPT and NVT ensembles for the first structural model can be performed by first performing NRT relaxation calculations at 300K for 0.5 to 2 ns, and then performing NVT relaxation calculations at 300K for 0.5 to 2 ns.
[0049] In some embodiments, during the relaxation process, the system may reach a certain local equilibrium state, but this is not necessarily a globally optimal structure. Therefore, in some embodiments, the above method may further include performing configurational relaxation simulations of the first structural model using NPT and NVT ensembles, followed by an annealing process, and then performing configurational relaxation simulations of the NPT and NVT ensembles again.
[0050] For example, firstly, NPT relaxation calculations are performed at 300K for 0.5-2 ns; then, NVT relaxation calculations are performed at 300K for 0.5-2 ns; next, the temperature is increased to 600K-1000K for annealing. Finally, the temperature is lowered to 300K for structural relaxation, using both NPT and NVT at 300K for 0.5-2 ns, thus obtaining a second structural model that is in full dynamic equilibrium. The density of the structural model can be 1.2-1.4 g / m³. 3 .
[0051] Understandably, annealing is a simulation technique that uses a gradual decrease in system temperature to find the optimal structure. During relaxation, the system reaches a local equilibrium state, but this is not necessarily the globally optimal structure. Annealing introduces temperature changes, disrupting this local equilibrium and allowing the system to explore more configuration space, thus finding a structure closer to the global optimum. During relaxation, stress and energy high points may arise due to intermolecular interactions and system constraints. Annealing, by increasing the temperature and then slowly cooling it, promotes molecular motion and rearrangement, leading the system to a more stable, lower-energy state. By introducing the annealing step, the temperature changes that may occur in real physical systems can be better simulated, making the simulation results closer to reality. Furthermore, annealing helps improve the convergence speed and stability of the simulation, allowing the system to reach dynamic equilibrium more quickly.
[0052] S103, apply uniaxial tensile stress to the second structural model and perform configurational relaxation simulation of the NPT ensemble to obtain the third structural model with uniaxial tensile orientation.
[0053] In some embodiments, applying uniaxial tensile stress to the second structural model can be achieved by applying compressive stress of the same magnitude to the X and Y axes of the second structural model, while no stress is applied to the Z axis. In this case, the second structural model under compressive stress is equivalent to being subjected to tensile stress oriented along the Z axis. Then, by performing NPT relaxation on the second structural model under stress, a third structural model with uniaxial tensile orientation and corresponding Z-axis elongation can be obtained.
[0054] For example, the compressive stress can be taken as 1 to 4 GPa, with the same compressive stress applied to the X and Y axes, while no stress is applied to the Z axis. NPT simulations are performed at a temperature of 673 K for a time ranging from 100 to 500 ps.
[0055] In some embodiments, after obtaining the third structural model through step S103, the method may further perform NPT and configurational relaxation simulations of the NVT ensemble on the third structural model, thereby enabling the third structural model to achieve full dynamic equilibrium.
[0056] Understandably, after obtaining the third structural model through step S103, this model may be in a higher energy state, meaning that the interactions between molecules or atoms in the system may not be at their most stable state. Therefore, by performing NPT and NVT relaxation simulations, the system can gradually reach a lower energy, more stable state. NPT relaxation simulations can be performed under constant temperature and pressure conditions, allowing the system to reach equilibrium by adjusting the interactions and positions of molecules. This helps eliminate residual stress in the model, making the molecular arrangement more reasonable and thus closer to the configuration of the real system. Subsequent NVT relaxation simulations can be performed under constant temperature and volume conditions, further adjusting the molecular velocities and positions to achieve kinetic equilibrium while maintaining a constant volume. This helps stabilize the energy state of the system, ensuring that the physical properties tend to stabilize during the simulation process.
[0057] For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the third structural model in an embodiment of the present invention. After obtaining the third structural model, NPT relaxation calculations are performed on the third structural model at 300K, with a time of 0.5-2 ns; subsequently, NVT relaxation calculations are performed at 300K, also with a time of 0.5-2 ns. This yields a third structural model that is in full dynamic equilibrium. In this embodiment of the present invention, the density of the structural model is 1.4-1.5 g / m³. 3 .
[0058] S104. Increasing tensile stress is applied to the orientation direction of the third structural model and uniaxial tensile mechanical property simulation calculation is performed to obtain the mechanical property evaluation results of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer.
[0059] In some embodiments, step S104 above may include:
[0060] S1041, obtain the critical bond-breaking length for breaking the chemical bonds of repeating units in the first structural model;
[0061] The critical bond-breaking length can be calculated using density functional theory. For example, it can be calculated using the flexible sweep function in Gaussian software, where the functional parameter can be B3LYP and the unit can be DNP4.4. (See also...) Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the simulation results of the critical bond-breaking length of the repeating unit model of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The target aromatic heterocyclic polymer is the TPC / PABZ polymer of terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and 5-aminobenzimidazole (PABZ). The critical bond lengths for breaking the chemical bonds of the repeating units can be obtained through flexible sweep simulation calculations using Gaussian software.
[0062] S1042, apply incremental tensile stress to the third structural model along the Z-axis; wherein the tensile stress increases at preset time intervals;
[0063] For example, the tensile stress increases in increments of 0.5 GPa, with an increase of 0.5 GPa every preset time interval. Of course, the magnitude of the tensile stress increase can be any other arbitrary value, determined based on the needs of the actual application. The preset time can be an empirical value, and its specific value is not strictly limited.
[0064] S1043, calculate the stress value and elongation deformation rate of the third structural model at each preset time until the bond length in the molecular chain of the third structural model elongates to the critical bond breaking length, and obtain the tensile stress-strain curve of the third structural model.
[0065] For example, the tensile stress application time can be 3 ps. During this time, within a preset time period, the stress value and elongation rate of the oriented structural model within 3 ps are calculated using the stress-strain calculation script in MS. At the next preset time period, the tensile stress is increased, and the stress value and elongation rate of the oriented structural model within 3 ps are calculated again. This process is repeated until the bond length in the molecular chains of the third structural model elongates to the critical bond breaking length, thereby obtaining the tensile stress-strain curve of the third structural model. See [link to relevant documentation] Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the tensile stress-strain curve in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The target aromatic heterocyclic polymer is a polymer of terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and 5-aminobenzimidazole (PABZ), namely TPC / PABZ.
[0066] S1044, the mechanical property evaluation results of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer are determined based on the stress-strain curve.
[0067] Specifically, the maximum stress value in the stress-strain curve is taken as the tensile fracture strength of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer; based on the tensile stress-strain curve, the initial modulus of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer is calculated using the strain function.
[0068] The preset strain function can be expressed by the following formula (1):
[0069]
[0070] Where E is the initial modulus of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer, σ 1% The stress corresponding to 1% strain is expressed in GPa.
[0071] Thus, through the above step S1044, the tensile fracture strength and initial modulus of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer can be determined, thereby enabling the evaluation of the mechanical properties of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer through these parameter values.
[0072] The following specific embodiments illustrate the method for evaluating the mechanical properties of aromatic heterocyclic polymers based on molecular simulation of the present invention.

Finally, the temperature was lowered to 300K for structural relaxation, with both NPT and NVT calculations performed at 300K for 0.5 ns, resulting in a dynamically fully balanced structural model with a density of 1.36 g / cm³. 3 .

Subsequently, structural relaxation was further performed at 300 K using both NPT and NVT for 1.5 ns, resulting in a uniaxially oriented structural model with fully balanced dynamics and a density of 1.46 g / cm³. 3 .

Then, tensile calculations were performed using the final structural model from MS's stress-strain calculation script L3, with the length of the chemical bond breakage set as... The tensile stress-strain curve of the highly oriented structural model was thus obtained. The tensile fracture strength and initial modulus were then calculated.

Subsequently, an initial structural model box was constructed using the Amorphous Cell module, with 18 polymer molecular chains. A COMPASS force field was used, and the initial structure density was set to 1.0 g / cm³. 3 .

Specifically, NPT relaxation calculations were performed at 300K for 1 ns; followed by NVT relaxation calculations at 300K for 0.5 ns; then annealing was performed at 600K, with NPT and NVT relaxation calculations each taking 1.5 ns. Finally, the temperature was lowered to 300K for structural relaxation, with both NPT and NVT calculations performed at 300K for 1 ns, resulting in a dynamically fully balanced structural model with a density of 1.38 g / cm³. 3 .
[0081] S23. The Barostat module within the Forcite molecular dynamics calculation module was used to perform NPT ensemble simulations on the final L2 structural model under stress. The stress was set to -4 GPa on the X and Y axes, 0 on the Z axis, and the temperature was set to 673 K with an NPT relaxation time of 500 ps. Subsequently, structural relaxation was further performed at 300 K using both NPT and NVT for 2 ns, resulting in a uniaxially oriented structural model with fully balanced dynamics and a density of 1.44 g / cm³. 3 .
[0082] S24, using Gaussian software's flexible scanning simulation, the repeating aromatic heterocyclic polymer unit constructed in L1 was calculated, yielding the critical bond length (Lcr) for chemical bond breaking.

[0088] A three-dimensional crystallographic model of the TPC / PABZ repeating unit cell was established based on the unit cell parameters. The number of repeating units in the unit cell was 40. The unit cell structure was optimized using the Forcite molecular dynamics calculation module. Using the COMPASSII force field, NPT relaxation calculations were performed at 300 K for 0.5 ns; followed by NVT relaxation calculations at 300 K for 1 ns; then annealing was performed at 600 K, with NPT and NVT relaxation calculations each taking 2 ns. Finally, the temperature was lowered to 300 K for structural relaxation, with both NPT and NVT relaxations performed at 300 K for 0.5 ns, thus obtaining a dynamically balanced structural model with a density of 1.48 g / cm³. 3 .
[0089] Using Gaussian software's flexible scanning simulation, the repeating aromatic heterocyclic polymer unit constructed in L1 was calculated, and the critical bond length (Lcr) for chemical bond breaking was obtained as follows: Then, tensile calculations were performed using the final structural model from MS's stress-strain calculation script L3, with the length of the chemical bond breakage set as... The tensile stress-strain curve of the three-dimensional crystalline structure model was thus obtained. The tensile fracture strength and initial modulus were calculated. The tensile fracture strength was determined to be 43.4 GPa, and the initial modulus to be 263.7 GPa.
[0090] The specific results of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are shown in Table 1 below:
[0091] Table 1:
[0092]
[0093] As shown in Figure 1, the polymer obtained by the present invention has a density of 1.4-1.5 g / m³. 3 The density is close to the actual density of the experimentally prepared fiber (~1.45 g / m³). 3 The simulated mechanical properties, such as tensile breaking strength, range from 3.3 to 7.8 GPa, which is closer to the actual breaking strength of the fiber. Therefore, simulation calculations can guide the development of lightweight, high-strength aromatic heterocyclic polymer fiber materials. Furthermore, the tensile breaking strength determined by existing technologies has a large error compared to the actual value (as shown in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in Table 1). In this embodiment of the invention, based on the structural characteristic parameters of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer, a first structural model of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer is constructed; configurational relaxation simulations of the first structural model using NPT and NVT ensembles are performed to obtain a second structural model in a fully dynamically balanced state; uniaxial tensile stress is applied to the second structural model, and configurational relaxation simulations of the NPT ensemble are performed to obtain a third structural model with uniaxial tensile orientation; incremental tensile stress is applied to the orientation direction of the third structural model, and uniaxial tensile mechanical property simulation calculations are performed to obtain the mechanical property evaluation results of the target aromatic heterocyclic polymer. Thus, without being limited by experimental conditions or affected by human factors, the mechanical properties of aromatic heterocyclic polymer fibers with different structures can be evaluated quickly and efficiently. Compared with other models, the calculated tensile strength and initial modulus are closer to the experimental values.
