It is found that in the simulated carbon disulfide (CS2) solvent, soluble sulfur in the form of clusters mainly promotes the dissolution of clusters through van der Waals interaction between solvent molecules (CS2) and S8, and the solubility gradually increases with the increase in temperature. However, the strong interaction between polymer chains of insoluble sulfur in the form of polymer hinders the diffusion of IS into CS2 solvent, which is not conducive to high-temperature dissolution. The simulated solubility parameter shows that the solubility parameter of soluble sulfur is closer to that of the solvent, which is consistent with the above explanation that soluble sulfur is easy to dissolve.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27144402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]],"date-time":"2022-07-11T00:06:21Z","timestamp":1657497981000},"page":"4402","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Molecular Simulation to Explore the Dissolution Behavior of Sulfur in Carbon Disulfide"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Xiangyu","family":"Cui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenbo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Yanggu Huatai Chemical Co., Ltd., Yanggu, Liaocheng 252300, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengcheng","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Yanggu Huatai Chemical Co., Ltd., Yanggu, Liaocheng 252300, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Delong","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Yanggu Huatai Chemical Co., Ltd., Yanggu, Liaocheng 252300, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaolai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1016\/j.progpolymsci.2016.04.003","article-title":"Polymerizations with elemental sulfur: A novel route to high sulfur content polymers for sustainability, energy and defense","volume":"58","author":"Griebel","year":"2016","journal-title":"Prog.
