How can CAChe help with polymer chemistry?
A. CAChe ProjectLeader can determine polymer properties including polymer Tg, molar volume, cohesive energy, and the polymer solubility parameter, as well as molar refractivity. From these properties, many other polymer properties can be calculated using standard equations from texts such as Bicerano and van Krevelan. Mac CAChe has a powerful polymer builder, for precise construction of hetero- and homo-polymers specifying head attachment angle, tail attachment angle, head bond angle, tail bond angle, center dihedral, bond length, and repeat factor. In addition, numerous applications determining polymer properties such as thermal degradation, weatherability, and miscibility have been developed and are available. Q.
