Molecular dynamics simulation of calcium carbonate nano filled PLA/PPC composites: interfacial properties and water vapor barrier by Yingjie Ding, Yong Xin

“…The analysis of the water adsorption sites on the composites, the energy distribution, and the mean square displacements (MSD) of water in the different samples, as well as the diffusion coefficients, showed that the filler with 3 wt% of CaCO₃ had a better dispersibility in the matrix, the free volume of the system was reduced, and the diffusion channel of water vapour was widened, which led to promising success in the field of biodegradable membranes for food packaging or waterproofing for agriculture. …”
