This paper addresses the potential of molecular dynamics simulation for structure–property correlations in rubber. This is an important topic within a multi-scale framework to rubber blends. For that purpose, the Mechanical Properties of NR(Natural rubber)/TPI(Gutta percha) are studied by Molecular dynamics simulation method. The result indicates that the NR/TPI’s properties have been improved significantly. Compared to the pure TPI, the rubber blends’ Modulus and rigidity decrease while flexibility and strength are enhanced. Based on these, the pair correlation functions are discussed, the best simulation technique identified in this study reveal the nature of interactions between the components of the blends.

To investigate the interaction mechanism of PVA on the surface of HA, the molecular dynamics simulation was applied to simulate and calculate the binding energy between PVA of different monomers and HA crystallographic planes (001), (100) and (110), and then the mechanical properties and radial distribution function of the PVA/HA(110) system were calculated and analyzed. The results show that HA (110) has the higher binding energy with PVA than that of HA (001) and (100). The binding energy and the Young’s modulus of HA(110)/PVA system increase with the rising of PVA monomer number at the same crystallographic plane in a certain range, however, the descending trend takes place while monomers number reaching a certain value. This change trend is relating to the effective contact between two single components. By calculating the pair correlation function of HA(110)/PVA, there is a strong interaction between HA crystallographic plane (110) and PVA, it is mainly derived from the hydrogen bonds between O atoms of PVA and H atoms in HA crystal, besides, the ionic bonds interactions existing between OaandCa.

Our work uses Iterative Boltzmann Inversion (IBI) to study the coarse-grained interaction between 20 amino acids and the representative carbon nanotube CNT55L3. IBI is a multi-scale simulation method that has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years. It can effectively modify the coarse-grained model derived from the Potential of Mean Force (PMF). IBI is based on the distribution result obtained by All-Atom molecular dynamics simulation, that is, the target distribution function, the PMF potential energy is extracted, and then the initial potential energy extracted by the PMF is used to perform simulation iterations using IBI. Our research results have gone through more than 100 iterations, and finally, the distribution obtained by coarse-grained molecular simulation (CGMD) can effectively overlap with the results of all-atom molecular dynamics simulation (AAMD). In addition, our work lays the foundation for the study of force fields for the simulation of the coarse-graining of super-large proteins and other important nanoparticles.

Molecular dynamics simulation was used to simulate the tension process of purity and containing impurity metal aluminum. Elastic constants of purity and containing impurity metal aluminum were calculated, and the effects of impurity on the elastic constants were also studied. The results show that O-Al bond and Al-Al bond near oxygen atoms could be the sites of crack nucleation or growth under tensile load, the method can be extended to research mechanical properties of other metals and alloys structures.
