Adsorption of the natural protein surfactant Rsn-2 onto liquid interfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-02-27)
To stabilize foams, droplets, and films at liquid interfaces nature has evolved a range of protein biosurfactants. Compared to synthetic surfactants, these combine surface activity with biocompatibility and low solution ...
Design principles for the formation of ordered patterns in binary mixtures of colloidal particles on spherical droplets
(Elsevier, 2017-03-11)
We elucidate the design principles for the formation of ordered structures formed by binary mixtures of particles on spherical surfaces, such as emulsion droplets, polymer vesicles, and col- loidal nanoparticles. Using ...
Molecular simulation of nanoparticle diffusion at fluid interfaces
(2010)
Using molecular dynamics simulations the transport properties of a model nanoparticle in solution are studied. In bulk solvent the translational diffusion coefficients are in good agreement with previous simulation and ...
Scaling behavior of polymers at liquid/liquid interfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2015-09-14)
The dynamics of a polymer chain confined in a soft 2D slit formed by two immiscible liquids is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the scaling behavior of a polymer confined between two liquids ...
Conformations of myoglobin-derived peptides at the air-water interface
(NUI Galway, 2016-12-12)
Simulation files, analysis scripts, and output data to accompany article:
Cheung, David L. (2016). Conformations of Myoglobin-Derived Peptides at the Air–Water Interface. Langmuir, 32(18), 4405-4414. doi: 10.1021/acs.la ...
Phase behaviour of self-assembled monolayers controlled by tuning physisorbed and chemisorbed states: A lattice-model view
(American Institute of Physics, 2016-04-07)
The self-assembly of molecules on surfaces into 2D structures is important for the bottom-up fabrication of functional nanomaterials, and the self-assembledstructure depends on the interplay between molecule-molecule ...
Experimental and computational examination of anastellin (FnIII1c)-polymer interactions
(Wiley, 2016-10-24)
Using a combination of experimental and computational approaches, the
interaction between anastellin, a recombinant fragment of fibronectin, and representative
biomaterial surfaces has been examined. Anastellin and ...
How stable are amphiphilic dendrimers at the liquid liquid interface?
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
By means of molecular dynamics simulations the free energy of adsorption of model dendrimer characterized by monomers of different chemical affinity is predicted as a function of the number and position of the monomers. ...
Thermodynamics of linear and star polymers at fluid interfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
Performing molecular dynamics simulations on model systems we study the structural changes and thermodynamic stability of polymers of varying topology (linear and star-shaped) at interface between two liquids. We find that ...
Morphological transitions in polymer vesicles upon bilayer swelling with small hydrophobic molecules in water
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
We show that when unilamellar polymer vesicles dispersed in water made from a blockcopolymer, in this case poly((ethylene oxide)45-block-(methyl methacrylate)164), poly((ethylene oxide)45-block-(methyl methacrylate)170), ...
