Deswelling Mechanisms of Surface-Grafted Poly(NIPAAm) Brush: Molecular Dynamics Simulation Approach
Technologies ranging from solvent extraction and drug delivery to tissue engineering are beginning to benefit from the unique ability of “smart polymers” to undergo controllable structural changes in response to external stimuli. The prototype is poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (P(NIPAAm)) which exhibits an abrupt and reversible hydrophilic to hydrophobic transition above its lower critical solutio...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of grafted layers of bottle-brush polyelectrolytes.
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the effect of the brush grafting density and degree of polymerization of the side chains on conformations of brush layers made of charged bottle-brush macromolecules. The thickness of the brush layer first decreases with increasing brush grafting density; then, it saturates and remains constant in the wide interval of the brush grafting densities. ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Al Energetic Nano Cluster Impact (ECI) onto the Surface
On the atomic scale, Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulation of Nano Al cluster impact on Al (100) substrate surface has been carried out for energies of 1-20 eV/atom to understand quantitatively the interaction mechanisms between the cluster atoms and the substrate atoms. The many body Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was used in this simulation. We investigated the maximum substrate temperature Tmax and...
متن کاملSurface-grafted polysarcosine as a peptoid antifouling polymer brush.
Poly(N-substituted glycine) "peptoids" are a class of peptidomimetic molecules receiving significant interest as engineered biomolecules. Sarcosine (i.e., poly(N-methyl glycine)) has the simplest side chain chemical structure of this family. In this Article, we demonstrate that surface-grafted polysarcosine (PSAR) brushes exhibit excellent resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption and cell a...
