摘要: 文章采用B3LYP/6 31G(d)方法对含有两个重复结构单元的聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)的周期性边界条件的结构模型进行全构型能量优化,在此基础上,采用从头算分子动力学方法研究其光解离过程。研究结果表明,在化学键解离过程中,PDMS甲基上的H最易且最先脱落,即首先是甲基上的C—H键断裂,生成H自由基和硅甲基自由基,而后,C—Si键断裂,生成甲基自由基和PDMS的主链自由基。计算结果与硅橡胶泡沫的气体辐解产物分析结果基本一致。Abstract: The periodic boundary conditions structure of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with two repeat units is full optimized using B3LYP/6-31G(d) method and the photodissociation of PDMS is studied using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) method. The result shows that the hydrogen atom attached to methyl is the easiest cracking type in the bond dissociation process. Through the whole trajectory of PDMS, the C—H bond is the first one to disassociate, which produce H radical and silicone-methyl radical. And then the C—Si bonds break up into methyl radical and main chain radical. The (calculated) result agrees with the gamma radiolysis gases of PDMS in our early experiment data.
