Polyepoxy samples are synthesized from diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and ethylene diamine (EDA) monomers at a stoichiometric ratio of 2 DGEBA : 1 EDA in model conditions in order to promote a high degree of polymerization and a low density of defects and to try to approach the ideal models obtained by simulation. A slow polymerization (>24 h at ambient temperature) and a postcuring achieved in an inert atmosphere lead to a conversion degree of 92±2% and a midpoint glass transition temperature of 391±1 K. In parallel, a model is created with a multistep cross-linking procedure. In this work, all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed with LAMMPS and the GAFF 1.8 force field. In the initial liquid mixture of reactants (600 molecules), proper mixing is demonstrated by the calculation of the partial radial distribution functions (RDF), which show a minimum intermolecular distance of 2.8 Å and similar distributions for EDA-EDA, DGEBA-DGEBA, and DGEBA-EDA molec...

Service evaluation by user communities - deals with the execution of<br> demonstrators by the user communities. Specifically, we report the evaluation of the first set of onboarded<br> services by the user communities. Thematic services belonging to the Life Science, Climate<br> Science, Digital Cultural Heritage, as well as Computational Physics communities, together with<br> generic and repository services were used as use cases by researchers from all user communities.<br> These cross-border use cases were described and reported in Deliverable 6.3 - User communities'<br> use cases. The researchers provided brief reports detailing their experience using these services,<br> with an emphasis on the ease of access and usage. In this deliverable, we also discuss briefly the<br> status of generic, thematic, and repository services which are or will be on-boarded to NI4OSEurope.

The evolution of emerging technologies that use Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) has increased the interest of the scientific community and society regarding the possible adverse effects on human health and the environment. This article provides NextGEM’s vision to assure safety for EU citizens when employing existing and future EMF-based telecommunication technologies. This is accomplished by generating relevant knowledge that ascertains appropriate prevention and control/actuation actions regarding RF-EMF exposure in residential, public, and occupational settings. Fulfilling this vision, NextGEM commits to the need for a healthy living and working environment under safe RF-EMF exposure conditions that can be trusted by people and be in line with the regulations and laws developed by public authorities. NextGEM provides a framework for generating health-relevant scientific knowledge and data on new scenarios of exposure to RF-EMF in multiple frequency bands and develo...
