Molecular-level investigation of plasticization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in supercritical carbon dioxide via molecular dynamics simulation

The current study aims to use the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method to discuss the glass transition behaviour and fractional free volume (FFV) of the pure polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the plasticized PET induced by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) sorption. The adsorption concen...
