Paper Abstract
Mechanical behaviors of the nanoindentation into the films of the polystyrene (PS) and the polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane (POSS) reinforced PS (propyl-POSS-PS, P-POSS-PS) were studied using the molecular mechanics
simulations. The serrated load-displacement curves of two kinds of polymers were obtained. And the curves show that
the loads increase with increasing displacements. A method to compute the hardness of homopolymers in the molecular
simulations of the nanoindentation was proposed by considering the response of the load-indentation depth and the
constructional deformations of the simulation models. The results indicate that the hardness of the P-POSS-PS (9.1mol%
propyl-POSS attached) is about 60% higher than that of the PS. The hardness of polymers can be observably improved
by the POSS. A formula is deduced to characterize the relationship between the hardness and the indentation depth of
common polymeric materials based on a kind of representative polymer nylon. Computational results prove that this
formula is valid to a large proportional of polymers. Afterward the hardness of the PS and the P-POSS-PS were
corrected and the necessary indentation depths for the credible hardness were provided.
