Understanding the Dynamical Behavior of Twin Polymerization — Constantin Huster, Halit Taskin, and •Janett Prehl — Institut für Physik, Technische Universität Chemnitz, Chemnitz, Germany

Twin polymerization enables the formation of two different macro-molecular structures of organic-inorganic hybrid materials in one single process step. To investigate the dynamical behavior and the morphology of the reaction process and the final compounds we recently developed a Monte-Carlo based reactive bond fluctuation model (rBFM) [1] that is capable to cope with the complexity of the underlying reaction mechanism. Special feature of this rBFM is the possibility to define multiple reaction centers per monomer and multiple bond vectors between two monomers that exhibit different properties.

In this presentation we introduce the rBFM and analyze first results of the diffusive behavior of the reacting twin monomers over time. By doing so we gain insights into the structure formation process of twin polymerization.
