Computer simulations of block copolymer tethered nanoparticle self-assembly.
We perform molecular simulations to study the self-assembly of block copolymer tethered cubic nanoparticles. Minimal models of the tethered nanoscale building blocks (NBBs) are utilized to explore the structures arising from self-assembly. We demonstrate that attaching a rigid nanocube to a diblock copolymer affects the typical equilibrium morphologies exhibited by the pure copolymer. Lamellar ...
متن کاملStructure of Cationic Surfactant Micelles from Molecular Simulations of Self- Assembly
Molecular dynamics simulations of self-assembly of n-decyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactants were performed using an atomistic model, and a detailed analysis of the spontaneously formed micellar aggregates was carried out. This allowed for a detailed study of the structure of cationic surfactant micelles free from any a priori assumptions regarding their size and shape. Atomic radial distrib...
متن کاملThermodynamic simulations of DNA tile self-assembly
ABSTRACT Self-assembling DNA complexes have been intensively studied in recent years aiming to achieve bottom-up construction of nanoscale objects. Among them, a DNA complex called DNA tile is known for its high programmability. By using a set of DNA tiles, we are able to self-assemble twodimensional crystals with programmable patterns. This is called algorithmic self-assembly. In order to crea...
متن کاملSimulations of Computing by Self Assembly
Winfree proposed a Turing universal model of DNA self assembly In this abstract model DNA double crossover molecules self assemble to form an algorithmically patterned two dimensional lattice Here we develop a more realistic model based on the thermodynamics and kinetics of oligonucleotide hydridization Using a computer simulation we investigate what physical factors in uence the error rates i ...
متن کاملComputer simulations of self-assembled membranes.
Molecular dynamics simulations in three dimensions of particles that self-assemble to form two-dimensional, membrane-like objects are presented. Anisotropic, multibody forces, chosen so as to mimic real interactions between amphiphilic molecules, generate a finite rigidity and compressibility of the assembled membranes, as well as a finite line tension at their free edges. This model and its ge...
