We performed molecular dynamics simulation of liquid-crystalline epoxy resin. For the simulation, one molecule is modeled as a diamine ends of which are connected to derivatives of diepoxy mesogens. Molecular ends were drawn by external force in order to generate well-aligned initial structure. After removing the external force, equilibrated results expressed an even–odd effect for number of methylene units of mesogenic structures. Finally we propose a recipe to use the present simulation for a screening to obtain epoxy molecules of higher thermal conductivity.
