Combined Molecular Dynamics and DFT Simulation Study of the Molecular and Polymer Properties of a Catechol-Based Cyclic Oligomer of Polyether Ether Ketone

The geometrical, energetic, noncovalent, and material properties of a catechol-based cyclic oligomer of Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) called o-PEEK were investigated using Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations. The DFT (and MD) calculation performed with the PBEsol...
