The article was 《Rational Design of Heat-Resistant Polymers with Low Curing Energies by a Materials Genome Approach》. The article mentions the following:
Designing high-temperature polymers with excellent processability is a long-standing challenge due to the implacable contradiction between high thermal stability and low curing energy. Traditional designs based on scientific intuition and trial-and-error experiments have not been efficient strategies for the discovery of new heat-resistant resins. In this work, we developed a materials genome approach to facilitate the design of new heat-resistant resins with the desired properties. By defining the gene and extracting the “”genetic”” features, we proposed a two-step strategy to screen candidate resins obtained from combinations of genes. A new kind of heat-resistant resin was predicted by rapid screening and was further verified by theor. simulations and exptl. studies. The basic framework developed for the present materials genome approach can be generalized for the rapid design of other high-performance materials. The experimental process involved the reaction of 1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6Category: ethers-buliding-blocks)
1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6) belongs to ethers.Category: ethers-buliding-blocksAlthough ethers resist hydrolysis, they are cleaved by hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid. Hydrogen chloride cleaves ethers only slowly.
