Abstract

Molecular simulation was performed to estimate crystal structure and physical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) crystal at the molecular level. Molecular dynamics(MD) was performed for 1$\times$12$\times$1 lattice cell which contains 2 PVA chains of 12 repeating unit long along b axis with sdiad content of 50%(atactic) and 65%. The PCFF force field was used throughout this study. MD was performed for 30-50 ps. The most stable P7h crystal obtained by MD with PCFF force field had reliablility index R of 0.19. The Young's modulus for the atactic PVA crystal was 278 GPa, which agrees well with the theoretical Young's modulus of 280 GPa.
