Branched-chain ignition in strained mixing layers
The time-dependent evolution of the radical pool in an initially inert hydrogen-air counterflow mixing layer subject to variable strain is investigated analytically. Although the initial chemistry description contains three different chain carriers, namely, H, O and OH, it is shown that the ignition problem can be accurately described in terms of a single radical-pool variable that incorporates...
متن کاملFriction between brush layers of charged and neutral bottle-brush macromolecules. molecular dynamics simulations.
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the lubricating properties of neutral and charged bottle-brush coatings as a function of the compression and shear stresses and brush grafting density. Our simulations have shown that in charged bottle-brush systems under shear there is a layer with excess counterions located in the middle between brush-bearing surfaces. The main deformation mode o...
متن کاملInteraction between brush layers of bottle-brush polyelectrolytes: molecular dynamics simulations.
Interactions between tethered layers composed of aggrecan (charged bottle-brush) macromolecules are responsible for the molecular origin of cartilage biomechanical behavior. To elucidate the role of the electrostatic forces in interaction between bottle-brush layers, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations of charged and neutral bottle-brush macromolecules tethered to substrates. In th...
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 کاملSelf-Organization of Polymer Brush Layers in a Poor Solvent
Synthesis of densely grafted polymer brushes from good solvent polymer solutions is difficult when the surface interaction is only weakly attractive because of the strong stenc repulsion between the polymer chains To circumvent this difficulty we graft polymer layers in a poor solvent to exploit attractive polymer-polymer interactions which largely nullify the repulsive stenc interactions. This...
