Modelling and Design of Multiphase Polymeric Materials for High Performance Applications Across Multiple Scales

Abstract

The project will develop an integrated simulation chain for the sorption and transport properties of high performance, multiphase materials, such as semi crystalline polymers or nanocomposites for challenging industrial applications. A Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation of the phases will be bridged with macroscopic methods in a hierarchical approach adopting key material parameters and producing structure-property correlations useful to guide the design and the optimization of such materials, as well as to reduce the number of experimental tests required. A comprehensive, dedicated experimental campaign will be designed and performed to validate and integrate the simulation approach.
