Abstract
MD simulations show that polymerization of ionic liquids has a minor effect on the local structure, but it results in a significant slowdown and increased heterogeneity of anion and cation dynamics.

Abstract
Poly(dimethyl-co-diphenyl)siloxane has improved mechanical properties compared with polydimethylsiloxane. We used atomistic molecular dynamics simulation to investigate how the diphenyl contents slow down the relaxation dynamics of the copolymers.
