Abstract: This study utilizes QM/MM Born–Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics in order to model the process of intermolecular binding between reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and butadiene–acrylonitrile copolymer (PBDAN) with a monomer ratio of 2:1. This research aims to elucidate the structural reasons behind the enhancing properties of the substrate, focusing on the polymer matrix. The behavior of each phase was examined and discussed. More importantly, the intermolecular interactions within the interphase zone of adsorption were investigated on an atomic scale. We found and characterized 58 such instances, grouped into hydrogen bonds and three types of stacking: π–π, σ–π, and σ–n. Each occurrence was analyzed through the use of radial distribution functions. Five spontaneous chemical processes within the rGO nanoparticle were modeled and characterized. Two of them were found to provide stabilization only within the substrate, while the rest are relevant for the overall constitution of the heteromaterial. Perhaps most intriguing is the process of self-repair as part of the vacancy defect. This occurs entirely within the carbon frame of the rGO layer. We believe our results to be of importance for a large set of ligand materials, mostly those which contain unsaturated bonds and electronegative atoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
