| Abstract | Small organic multiamine and multihydroxyl molecules have great potential for enhancing overall properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) through the cross-linking effect of hydrogen bonds. However, experimentally there remains a remarkable lack of insightful understanding of the cross-linking effect on a molecular level. In the work, we report molecular dynamics simulations to reveal the cross-linking effect of hydrogen bonds of tetraaminopyrimidine (4N-2456) molecules on the structure, chain dynamics and mechanical properties of the PVA matrix. It was found that the addition of 4N-2456 leads to a nonlinear decrease of the free volume of PVA. A critical concentration of 4N-2456, about 5 wt%, was identified, resulting in the formation of 4N-2456 clusters. At this concentration, the PVA chains show the relatively slow mobility, the higher glass transition temperature and elastic modulus. Further increasing the 4N-2456 concentration enhances aggregation, and conversely weakens the interactions of hydrogen bonds between the PVA chains. Our work offers an understanding of how the 4N-2456 molecules influence the PVA chain dynamics and mechanical properties of the PVA matrix on molecular level. |
