Polymer/Solid Interface Peeling

The interfacial debonding between amorphous polyethylene (PE) and a graphite wall was analyzed using Full-Atomistic Molecular Dynamics (FAMD). An interfacial model created with J-OCTA’s modeling function was used, and debonding behavior was reproduced by moving the wall downward. Changes in stress and void formation were visualized.
Use Cases Highlights
  • Reproduction of interfacial debonding by wall movement
  • Evaluation of changes in vertical stress and void formation
  • Easy modeling using J-OCTA functions

Construction of interfacial models

An interfacial model of polyethylene and graphite wall is constructed, with carbon atoms white and hydrogen atoms blue. Periodic boundaries are in X and Y, and reflective in Z.

Interfacial debonding process

The peeling process due to wall movement is illustrated. The detachment of polyethylene from a graphite substrate is shown.

Visualization of peeling process

Evaluation of stress variations

A graph plotting normal stress versus wall displacement is shown. The numbering corresponds to the earlier figure, and a sharp change in stress with the progression of debonding can be observed.
