The results from glass transition temperature simulations showed that the compatibility of PLA/TBC system was better than that of PLA/glycerol, which were consistent with the conclusion obtained from the pair correlation functions. Besides, the behaviors of phase state distribution and evolution process were investigated by mesoscopic dynamics method as well. The results indicated that citrate ester was a better plasticizer than glycerol for PLA.展开更多

Dissipative particle dynamics（DPD） method was used to simulate the interaction between KGM and the cationic surfactant. Influences of concentration, temperature and shear process on the structure and properties of aggregates were mainly examined. The results revealed that the density peak increased with the increase of concentration of KGM. With increasing the temperature, density peak moved to the right and increased, and then decreased when the temperature rose to a certain value. The density peak moved to the right at the low shear rate while decreased at the high one. During simulation, the high viscosity related to the low diffusion rate, which made it difficult to form a large continuous phase.展开更多
