A Brownian Dynamics Study of Crossover Scaling in Semidilute Polymer Solutions
Understanding the dynamics of polymer solutions in the semidilute regime is important not only from the point of view of advancing fundamental knowledge in polymer science but also from the point of view of technological applications. The behavior of semidilute polymer solutions varies significantly with concentration and solvent quality, which are reflected in the concentration driven crossove...
متن کاملMobility of Nanoparticles in Semidilute Polyelectrolyte Solutions
We measure the mobility of nanoparticles at low concentrations in non-Newtonian semidilute aqueous solutions of high-molecular-weight polyelectrolyte polymers. Using optical microscopy and particle tracking algorithms, we image and track hydrophilic polystyrene nanoparticles of diameter 400 nm moving in aqueous solutions of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide of molecular weight 8 000 000 Da an...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulation of elliptic disks
Within this thesis, we consider Brownian dynamics simulations of anisotropic colloids modeled by elliptic disks. At first, a mathematical framework is developed in order to describe ellipses and to derive corresponding collision laws. Then, we introduce the conception of an event-driven algorithm. Within this scope, the collision time of two elliptic disks has to be determined. For this purpose...
متن کاملOn Brownian Dynamics Simulation of Nanoparticle Aggregation
Accurate simulation and control of nanoparticle aggregation in chemical reactors requires that population balance equations be solved by using realistic expressions for aggregation and breakage rate kernels. Obtaining such expressions requires that atomistic simulation approaches that can account for microscopic details of particle collisions be used. In principle, molecular dynamics simulation...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulation of stiff dumbbells
The effects of stiffness on the diffusion-limited dynamics of dumbbells in solution is studied numerically. The Langevin equation is used with two different models, the so-called Fraenkel and FENE dumbbells. It is found that the dynamics of rotation and stretching are dictated by the two following trends: (i) the density-density correlation function for these modes decays more slowly for larger...
