Computer Simulation of Triazole-Modified Urethane Segments

The focus is on the development of siloxane-urethane block copolymer matrices for additive manufacturing applications, including soft robotics. Molecular dynamics simulations compare classical urethane segments with the triazole-modified ones, revealing temperature-dependent behaviors in their conformational structures. The results suggest the potential for tailoring the mechanical properties of polyurethanes through molecular modification, which is crucial for optimizing additive manufacturing processes. Further research could advance material design for customizable objects with desired mechanical response.
