摘要: Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the conformational transition behavior in amorphous polyethylene with different chain lengths across glass temperature (Tg). In present study, we examined barrier height of rates states. It was found that two lines logarithmic versus inverse melt state and are evidently different. The an intersection, which indicates Tg well. unexpectedly observed lower than state. For gaining better understanding reduction, analyzed motion heterogeneity systems torsional rate distribution becoming gradually heterogeneous when went down result caused by torsion being “frozen”. frozen torsions made system into a no...
