Explore our recent collaboration with Kyushu University, where BIOVIA’s @RK worked with researchers to apply powerful tools like Materials Studio Forcite, DMol3 and Amorphous Cell.

Their research addresses key challenges in polymer composite design, including epoxy curing kinetics with different amines, adhesion to aluminum surfaces and the epoxy-silica interface. These studies provide valuable insights, particularly regarding the impact of moisture on epoxy properties, examining cohesive energy density, microstructure evolution and molecular interactions during curing.
