Multiscale Analysis of Rubber
島 広志

<要旨> Tires are required to have conflicting functions such as low rolling resistance and high wear resistance. In order to achieve these conflicting functions, appropriate control of the viscoelasticity of rubber, the main material of the tire, is necessary. A multiscale approach is required for the viscoelasticity of rubber, which is a nanocomposite composed of fillers such as carbon black and silica, polymers such as natural and synthetic rubbers, and other chemicals. We report on the viscoelasticity prediction of rubber based on the property values near the interface based on molecular dynamics predictions of interfacial kinetics using the finite element method.

<要旨> Recently our achievement in structure-property relationship of polymers with higher order structure based on data science methodology was introduced. The mesoscopic descriptor of elastomers in terms of connectivity was developed by complex network analysis, which described some parameters related to stress. In addition, hierarchical structure-property relationship of crystalline polymers was constructed using a higher order descriptor obtained from X-ray images. These approaches enable us to predict desirable properties of polymers with important higher order structure interpreted.

量子化学計算に基づく化学反応の予測
Predicting Chemical Reactions via Quantum Chemical Calculations
前田 理

<要旨> Recently, the importance of prediction of properties, structures, etc. has been rapidly growing in chemistry. Predicting something by an informatics approach from big data has become a recent trend. On the other hand, predicting chemical reactions from the first principles via quantum chemical calculations is the subject of this article. This got possible in simple systems, by utilizing an automated reaction path search method called artificial force induced reaction (AFIR) method. It is also possible to automatically identify the product and related reaction pathways, by applying a kinetics method called rate constant matrix contraction (RCMC) method to reaction path networks obtained by the AFIR method. In this article, three examples are presented: (1) Wöhler synthesis, (2) difluoroglycine derivative synthesis, and (3) thermal transformation of amorphous carbon under existence of carbon nanotube yarn. With these examples, it is demonstrated that the combined AFIR and RCMC methods are highly promising for ab initio prediction of chemical reactions.

Directed-Assembly of Amphiphilic Nanoparticles
中嶋 琢也
Takuya NAKASHIMA
<要旨> Amphiphilic modification on the nanoparticle (NP) surface is a versatile strategy to obtain NP assemblies since the hydrophobic effect is ubiquitous and a guiding principle for the organization of biological molecules such as proteins and biomembranes. Amphiphilic designs on the surface of NPs have been achieved through the modifications of NPs with amphiphilic molecules or a combination of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic ligands. The intrinsic hydrophobicity of most inorganic surfaces is also utilized to make the surface of NPs amphiphilic. NPs with anisotropic morphologies such as nanorods and branched NPs are successfully modified with patterned surface of hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains. Such the nanometer-scale chemical heterogeneity has an important effect on the effective operation of hydrophobic interactions. The combination of shape of NPs and amphiphilic surface pattern readily leads to NPs assembly with well defined structures.
