Abstract: The process of association reaction in telechelic polymer solution was investigated by dissipative particle dynamics(DPD)simulation method. We studied the effect of some master factors such as the reaction degree, the length of telechelic polymers and the concentration of telechelic polymers on the product morphology. With a further investigation, we also studied the energy of association and the number of characteristic structures in steady state. The primary factors in association reaction include the reaction degree which controls the microstructure of this system, and the length of telechelic polymers which controls the connectivity of this system, and the length of telechelic polymers which controls the connectivity of the product. Besides, we find there is a linear dependence of the number of characteristic loop chains on the concentration of telechelic polymers, as well as on the length of telechelic polymers.
