To investigate the influence law and mechanism of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) on the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy materials for insulated pull rods, molecular dynamics simulations were used to calculate and analyze the macroscopic properties and microscopic structural parameters of epoxy resin cross-linked systems with PEGDGE mass fractions of 0, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% (percentage of epoxy resin mass), respectively. The effect of PEGDGE content on the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy materials for insulated pull rods was summarized, the influence mechanism was elucidated from the perspective of system structure, and the calculation results were verified through experiments. The results show that with the introduction of PEGDGE, the glass transition temperature, tensile strength, and bending strength of epoxy resin, as well as the viscosity of castable decrease, while the impact strength of epoxy resin increases. When the mass fraction of PEGDGE is 5%, the material shows the best comprehensive performance. PEGDGE molecules with high flexibility increases the free volume fraction, mean square displacement, and the ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus (K/G) of the epoxy resin system, which enhances the mobility of molecular segments, and leads to the increase of toughness and the decrease of rigidity of the epoxy resin material.
