Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To investigate the effect of composition ratio on the properties for PVA/PAA blend membrane, five simulation models of PVA/PAA with different composition ratios (4/0, 3/1, 2/2, 1/3, 0/4) were constructed and simulated by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The effects of composition ratio on the properties for blends were elaborated from the aspects of the compatibility, mechanical properties, binding energy, pair correlation function, and diffusion of water molecules, respectively. The result of solubility parameter indicated PVA has a good miscibility with PAA, and the static mechanics analysis shows the mechanical properties and ductility are decreased with the increase of PAA content in the blend systems. Moreover, the analysis of binding energy and pair correlation function reveal the reason why the mechanical properties of systems decrease with the additional of PAA. Additionally, the analytical results of fractional free volume is inconsistent with the diffusion ability of H 2 O molecules, and the diffusion ability of H 2 O molecules in blend systems has the order of 4PPVA/0PAA > 3PVA/1PAA > 2PVA/2PAA > 1PVA/3PAA > 0PVA/4PAA. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the polarity effect of carboxylic acid groups (− COOH) in PAA is stronger than that of hydroxyl groups (− OH) in PVA.
