中文摘要：

采用分子动力学模拟方法研究了多个温度下氧气、氮气及甲烷在无定型顺式1,4-聚异戊二烯中的扩散系数。在模拟过程中,使用COMPASS力场作为分子力场。应用COMPASS力场的势能函数,聚合物的密度及玻璃化转变温度的计算结果与实验值有较好吻合。在278-378K的温度范围内,通过3或1.5 ns时长的正则系综动力学模拟,计算了不同温度下氧气、氮气及甲烷的扩散系数。结果表明,根据爱因斯坦关系式计算得到的扩散系数与实验结果比较接近。对气体扩散系数与温度的关系进一步研究,发现在278-378K温度范围内,甲烷的扩散系数随温度变化的半对数曲线图是非线性的,而氧气和氮气的扩散系数随温度变化的半对数曲线图是线性的。本文研究结果有助于理解温度对气体扩散的影响机制,并为高温下气体在天然橡胶中扩散系数的测定及天然橡胶热氧老化建模分析提供依据。

英文摘要：

Molecular dynamics （MD） simulations were performed to study the transport properties of gases （oxygen, nitrogen, and methane） in amorphous cis-1,4-polyisoprene over a wide range of temperatures. The COMPASS force field was used as the molecular mechanics force field in the simulations. Experimental values of density and glass transition temperature were successfully reproduced using the atomistic potentials determined by COMPASS. Diffusion coefficients were determined from long NVT simulation times （up to 3 or 1.5 ns） in the temperature range of 278-378 K. The diffusion coefficients calculated fromthe Einstein relationship agree well with available experimental data. Further studies on the temperature dependence of diffusion coefficients indicate that curvature is observed in the Arrhenius plot of diffusivity versus inverse temperature for methane, but the plots are linear over the investigated temperature range for oxygen and nitrogen. These simulation results are useful to understand the temperature dependence of diffusion coefficients, and provide a basis for the determination of diffusion coefficients at high temperatures and the modeling of thermo-oxidative degradation of polyisoprene.
