Abstract

The behavior of a polymer chain in solution by the molecular dynamics (MD) technique is discussed. The interaction potentials for solvent-solvent (SS), chain-solvent (CS), and chain-chain (CC) particles were chosen to be an exp-6 potential form, with a provision that the CC potential acts only between nonnearest-neighbor particle pairs. The effect of the attractive interactions on the physical properties of the polymer was investigated by comparing the results based on the exp-6 potentials with those based on a shifted exp-6 potential which includes only the repulsive part of the exp-6 potential. This work includes the calculations on the equilibrium quantities such as the SS, CS, and CC pair correlation functions, the mean square end-to-end distance, the mean square radius of gyration, and the eigenvalues of the moment of inertia tensor as well as the dynamic properties such as the autocorrelation functions for the mean square end-to-end distance and the mean square radius of gyration. 29 references.

Molecular dynamics of polymeric systems

Journal Article Bishop, M; Kalos, M; Frisch, H - J. Chem. Phys.; (United States)

Molecular dynamics calculations have been performed on polymeric systems containing a single chain immersed in a solvent. All atoms interact via the repulsive (shifted) Lennard-Jones potential. In addition, nearest neighbors along chains are linked by a quasiharmonic potential which permits limited pair extensions. Chains of length five and ten have been studied. Equilibrium properties such as the virial, various pair correlations, the end-to-end distance, the radius of gyration, and the polymer asphericity were computed. Where comparisons with alternative models were possible, the agreement was good. Chain dynamics has been monitored by examining the relaxation of the velocity autocorrelation function, themore »« less

Relationship between polymer chain conformation and phase boundaries in a supercritical fluid

Journal Article Luna-Barcenas, G; Meredith, J; Sanchez, I; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

We investigate the solvent density driven changes in polymer conformation and phase behavior that occur in a supercritical fluid, with a particular emphasis on conditions near the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase boundary. Using continuous space Monte Carlo simulations, the mean square end-to-end distance (R) and radius of gyration (R{sub g}) are calculated for a single chain with 20 Lennard-Jones segments in a monomeric solvent over a broad range of densities and temperatures. The chains collapse as temperature increases at constant pressure, or as density decreases at constant temperature. A minimum in R and R{sub g} occurs at amore »« less

Influence of attractions on the static and dynamic properties of simulated single and multichain systems

Journal Article Bishop, M; Kalos, M; Frisch, H - J. Chem. Phys.; (United States)

The influence of the attractive portion of the Lennard-Jones potential on the statics and dynamics of both single chain and multichain systems is investigated by reptation and molecular dynamics simulations. There is no significant effect at a reduced temperature of 10.0. At a temperature of 1.7 the single chain and multichain system at low densities (0.1) indicate that the attractions cause both the chains to be significantly more compact and a slowing of the time autocorrelation functions of the square of the end-to-end distance and radius of gyration. At a moderate density of 0.5, the attractions have almost no effectmore »« less

How Do Ionic Liquids “Fold” Ionenes? Computational and Experimental Analysis of Imidazolium Polymers Based on Ether and Alkyl Chain Variations Dissolved in an Ionic Liquid

Journal Article Sappidi, Praveenkumar; Liu, Xiaoyang; O’Harra, Kathryn; ... - Macromolecules

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and complementary experiments are used here to understand the inter- and intramolecular structure and conformational properties of ionenes (i.e., cationic polymers formed from condensation reactions) dissolved in an ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bistriflimide [C₂mim⁺][Tf₂N^-]. The simulated structural properties are benchmarked against experimental analyses of these same polymers, mainly using dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments. Four different imidazolium ionenes are considered, corresponding to variations in the chemistry and structure of the repeat units including: (1) poly (decylimidazolium) (PD₁₀); (2) poly (tetraethyleneglycolimidazolium) (PE₁₀); (3) alternating copolymer (P(ED)₅); and (4) a block copolymer (PE₅D₅).

Equilibrium conformations and dynamic relaxation of double-tethered chain molecules at an impenetrable interface

Journal Article Gulati, H; Hall, C; Jones, R; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

In this work, the static conformational properties and dynamic relaxation behavior of monolayers of chain molecules grafted at both ends (polymer {open_quote}{open_quote}loops{close_quote}{close_quote}) to an impenetrable plane are investigated utilizing off-lattice discontinuous molecular dynamics (DMD) simulations. The conformational properties observed from DMD simulation are compared to the results of a previous on-lattice bond fluctuation (BF) study. This provides a unique opportunity to decouple the effects of excluded volume, chain flexibility and interparticle interactions, since these effects are treated differently in the two simulation methods. Static equilibrium properties of the looped chain layers determined from the DMD and BF models are inmore »« less
