MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS OF A 2-DIMENSIONAL POLYMER NETWORK - DYNAMIC PROPERTIES

Translational and rotational mobility of monomer segments and chains i n a two-dimensional regular polymer network was studied by methods of molecular dynamics. Time dependences of the average square displacemen t of monomers in the chains between network junctions are calculated. Orientational correlation time functions of chain segments are obtaine d. Mobility of network junctions is determined. It is shown that a reg ular polymer network exhibits translational and rotational anisotropy of monomers and chains as a whole.
