Solvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions
In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...
متن کاملSolvation Force of Ellipse-Shaped Molecules Moving in One Dimension and Confined between Two Parallel Planar Walls
The model fluids containing hard ellipses (HEs) and Gay-Berne (GB) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation, NVT ensemble. The dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. The oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against ...
متن کاملDensity functional approach to the description of fluids in contact with bilayers.
We discuss an application of a density functional approach to describe a bilayer, or a simplified model of a membrane, that is built of tethered chain molecules. The bilayer integrity is maintained by tethering chain particles to two common sheets. We study the structure of a two-component mixture in contact with the bilayer, as well as the solvation force acting between two bilayers, immersed ...
متن کاملNanoscale morphology of polyelectrolyte self-assembled films probed by scanning force and near-field scanning optical microscopy
We applied shear force microscopy, an analog to attractive-mode atomic force microscopy, and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) to the study of surface roughness and nanoscale morphology in polyelectrolyte self-assembled layers. Our data show that the surface roughness of multilayer films on glass grows linearly with the number of polyelectrolyte bilayers for the first 10 bilayers, a...
متن کاملPolyelectrolytes as adhesion modifiers.
Adsorbed layers of polyelectrolytes have been studied with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the interferometric surface force apparatus (SFA). Particular emphasis was put on determining the effect of the polyelectrolyte charge density on surface topography, and the effect of the polyelectrolyte coating on the adhesive properties. The AFM was employed to image individual polymer chains at low a...
