Abstract

Furan resins can be used as precursor resin for Carbon-Carbon Composites but has also been used in adhesives, acid/corrosion resistant materials, and as an alternative fuel precursor [15]. This paper contains the most current understanding of the structure of furan resin and a Molecular Dynamics workflow for computationally simulating its polymerization with the 'fix bond/react' command implemented in LAMMPS. The predicted mechanical properties of the polymerized resin are in good agreement with the literature values.
