Recently, one paper titled as In-depth understanding on the early stage of phenolic resin thermal pyrolysis through ReaxFF-molecular dynamics simulation was published in Polymer Degradation and Stability, co-authored by Xiaolong Xing, Xiaoru Niu, Yun Liu, Changhong Yang, Shujuan Wang, Yu Li, Xinli Jing. (Link to 10.1016/j.polymdegradstab.2021.109534.).

This paper clarified the early stage of the pyrolysis process of phenolic resin and proved that the cleavage reaction of PR occurs beside (CR_b) and on (CR_o) the backbone by means of molecular simulation based ReaxFF. It was concluded that the reduction of char yield was resulted from the VOC formation.

日前，RGFP的一篇论文在学术期刊Polymer Degradation and Stability上在线出版，论文题目为“In-depth understanding on the early stage of phenolic resin thermal pyrolysis through ReaxFF-molecular dynamics simulation”。论文的作者为行小龙、牛晓茹、刘芸副教授、杨长红高工、王淑娟副教授、李瑜副教授和井新利教授。

本文采用基于ReaxFF的分子模拟阐明了酚醛树脂热解过程的早期阶段，并证明了PR的裂解反应发生在主链和侧基上。论文得出结论，成炭率的降低是由VOC的形成引起的。
