Molecular origin of asymmetric yield surface of crosslinked epoxy polymers by Jinyoung Kim, Kyeongmin Hong, Yong-Seok Choi, Dayoung Jang, Jang-Woo Han, Hyungbum Park

“…In this study, we investigate the multiaxial mechanical behavior of thermosetting epoxy polymers and explore the asymmetry between tension and compression in their yield surfaces at the molecular level using molecular dynamics simulations, complemented by experimental validation through polymer synthesis. After constructing an atomistic-scale amorphous epoxy system based on molecular dynamics simulations, we derived equivalent stress–strain curves and yield surfaces as functions of the degree of crosslinking through biaxial deformation analysis. …”
