Structure and dynamics of unentangled polydimethylsiloxane: molecular dynamics simulations validated by scattering experiments

Abstract

En la presente tesis doctoral se ha llevado a cabo el estudio de la estructura y la dinámica del polidimetilsiloxano (PDMS) haciendo uso de la técnica de simulación atomística de dinámica molecular, validada mediante comparación con datos experimentales de dispersión de neutrones y rayos X. El PDMS está compuesto por monómeros de dimetilsiloxano formados por diez átomos: Silicio, oxígeno, dos carbonos y seis oxígenos. Dentro de este monómero, podemos distinguir dos subunidades: Cadena principal, en la que se encuentran los átomos de silicio y oxígeno, y el grupo metilo, donde se hayan carbonos e hidrógenos. Este polímero presenta una temperatura de transición vítrea muy baja (Tg - 148 K), y debido a ser transparente, inocuo y no inflamable, junto con sus interesantes propiedades viscoelásticas, es ampliamente utilizado en muy variados campos (lentes de contacto, lubricante, recubrimientos resistentes al calor, dispositivos médicos, como elastómero, etc.).La peculiaridad del PDMS está en la presencia en su cadena principal de enlaces covalentes Si-O, lo que lo hace sustancialmente diferente de otros polímeros cuyos esqueletos están formados por enlaces C-C. La diferencia entre ambos sistemas radica en las mayores barreras torsionales de los enlaces C-C frente a las del enlace Si-O, lo cual hacía preveer un comportamiento dinámico muy distinto en cada caso. En particular, resultaba de gran interés la comparación de la dinámica del PDMS con la de su homólogo C-C, el poliisobutileno (PIB), objeto de estudio en otra tesis previamente llevada a cabo en el grupo 'Polymers & Soft matter'. De acuerdo con estos antecedentes, el estudio realizado se ha enfocado principalmente en el efecto de las bajas barreras torsionales del PDMS en la dinámica a las diferentes escalas características del polímero (local, inter-molecular y de cadena polimérica).
