摘要
In order to research the glass transition temperature (Tg), the mean square displacement of the polyethylene chain and the diffusion coefficient of moisture in the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and SiO2 nano-composite, different composite models of the amorphous region of low-density polyethylene, nano-silica and moisture were constructed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Results indicate that the moisture decreases the glass transition temperature of the composites. The addition of nano-silica enhances the thermal stability of the composites and increases the glass transition temperature of the composites and inhibits the chain motion of polyethylene molecules in the composites. The diffusion coefficient of moisture increases along with the increasing temperature and the addition of nano-silica reduces the diffusion coefficient of moisture in molecules. The moisture will be local reunion by the hydrogen bond when temperature is around 300 K and along with the rising temperature the hydrogen bonds disappear. The research results can provide a useful reference for the thermal aging test of polyethylene. © 2017, High Voltage Engineering Editorial Department of CEPRI. All right reserved.
