First of all, I want to thank you for the excellent work you have done with HTPolyNet. I have used your program to model the chemistry of thermoset polymers in thiol-alkene systems, and the crosslinked polymer models generated have been successfully validated in terms of Tg and the storage modulus in the rubbery phase, as well as the crosslinking density. The results of these calculations have shown good correlation with experimental data, which has been very encouraging for my studies.
Now, I would like to expand my work toward generating crosslinked polymer models in the thiol-alkene-acrylate chemical space, where each monomer is at least tri-functional. However, at this point, I am uncertain about how to use HTPolyNet to simulate the homopolymerization chemistry of acrylates.
Could you please let me know if the HTPolyNet workflow can model the homopolymerization of acrylates? And if so, would you have any recommendations or suggestions on the best way to set it up? I have tried implementing it without success and would appreciate any guidance you can provide.
Thank you again for your time and for the effort you have dedicated to this powerful tool.
