Structure, Dynamics and Hydrogen Transport in Amorphous Polymers: An Analysis of the Interplay Between Free Volume Element Distribution and Local Segmental Dynamics from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Mohammed Al Otmi, Frank Willmore, Janani Sampath

An important indicator of membrane performance are free volume elements (FVEs): microporous void spaces created by the inefficient packing of bulky groups along the polymer chain.…
