Prediction the glass transition temperatures of common polymers using molecular dynamic simulation

Today, the polymeric materials are applied in very wide range of applications. One of the most fundamental measurements made on polymeric materials is the measurement of the glasstransition temperature; Tg. The glass transition is the temperature where the polymer goes from a hard; glass likestate to a rubber like state. Actually, knowing the glass transition temperature is important to verify the application of polymeric materials [1]. In this work molecular dynamicsimulation is applied to determine the Tg of several polymers which are presented in Table 1.
