Notes:
Progress on the molecular modelling of polymers is described based on examples studied in our laboratory. Simulation of the physico-mechanical properties of a linear epoxy resin, a linear polyarylethersulphone and two network-forming polycyanurates are described. The simulated constants are compared in all instances to experimentally determined constants to provide a means of assessing the accuracy of the simulations. Reasonable constants can be produced for the examples cited from simulation using relatively unsophisticated models.
