Bond Vector Probability Distribution Function of Bulk Molecules

چکیده
Bond vector probability distribution function of bulk molecules. Abstract: In our previous work we studied dynamics of the interfacial layer between flowing polymer melt and a solid wall. We showed that the ensemble-averaged behavior of the polymer molecules grafted on the wall could be successfully described in terms of the so-called bond vector probability distribution function (BVPDF). As was shown, the BVPDF satisfies a certain nonlinear integro-differential equation with all the major relaxation mechanisms taken into account. The goal of the present work is to extend the developed formalism to the bulk flow region. For that the corresponding equation of motion for the BVDPF is derived which allows for reptation and the isotropic boundary conditions inherent to the bulk chains.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Water in Single WallCarbon Nanotube
The overall aim of this study is to calculate some water properties in the single wall carbon naotubes (SWCNT) and compare them to the bulk water properties to investigate the deviation of water properties inside the SWCNT from those in the bulk. Here some physical and transport properties of water molecules in the single wall carbon nanotube were reported by performing molecular dynamics (MD) ...
متن کاملDynamics of chains grafted on solid wall during polymer melt extrusion
The objective of the present work is the mathematical modeling of the dynamics of polymer molecules grafted on a solid boundary during polymer melt extrusion. This topic is closely related to the long-standing problem of polymer flow instabilities encountered in industry when extruding melts. In order to describe the behavior of the tethered chains, we introduce the bond vector probability dist...
متن کاملDissecting the energetics of hydrophobic hydration of polypeptides.
The energetics of water proximal to apolar groups is analyzed from a statistical perspective in the realistic context of polypeptide hydration. Analysis of a series of molecular dynamics simulations of a 16-residue polypeptide in water reveals a correlation between hydrogen bond energy and local packing when there is overcoordination of the water molecules around hydrogen bonds. We show that th...

A universal constitutive model for the interfacial layer between a polymer melt and a solid wall. Abstract: In a preceeding report we derived the evolution equation for the bond vector probability distribution function (BVPDF) of tethered molecules. It describes the behavior of polymer molecules attached to a solid wall interacting with an adjacent flowing melt of bulk polymer molecules and inc...

The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
