Control of molecular orientations of poly(3-hexylthiophene) on self-assembled monolayers: molecular dynamics simulations.

Molecular dynamics simulation of the enhancement of cobra cardiotoxin and E6 protein binding on mixed self-assembled monolayer molecules.

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed on n-alkinethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and their mixture on a gold surface so that the orientations of the binding of cobra cardiotoxin and E6 protein molecules can be selected using the mixing ratio of CH3-terminated SAMs with different chain lengths. The simulations suggest that a SAM surface with different mixing ratios may provide a po...

Studies of Cardio Toxin Protein Adsorption on Mixed Self-Assembled Monolayers Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Unraveling the dynamics and structure of functionalized self-assembled monolayers on gold using 2D IR spectroscopy and MD simulations.

Functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are the focus of ongoing investigations because they can be chemically tuned to control their structure and dynamics for a wide variety of applications, including electrochemistry, catalysis, and as models of biological interfaces. Here we combine reflection 2D infrared vibrational echo spectroscopy (R-2D IR) and molecular dynamics simulations to ...

بررسی جذب سطحی در نانوکامپوزیت‌های گرافن/ اکسید‌گرافن- پلیمرهای تقویت ‌شده به‌روش شبیه‌سازی دینامیک مولکولی واکنشی

Abstract: In this work, the amounts of the adsorption of conjugated polymers onto graphene/ graphene oxide were examined by reactive force-field molecular dynamics simulation. The polymers were poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly(phenothiazine vinylene-polythiophene)(PTZV-PT). The length and width of the graphene sheet were 95.19 Å and 54.16 Å, respectively. The graphene oxide sheets with di...

Self-assembly and its impact on interfacial charge transfer in carbon nanotube/P3HT solar cells.

Charge transfer at the interface of conjugated polymer and nanoscale inorganic acceptors is pivotal in determining the efficiency of excitonic solar cells. Despite intense efforts, carbon nanotube/polymer solar cells have resulted in disappointing efficiencies (<2%) due in large part to poor charge transfer at the interface. While the interfacial energy level alignment is clearly important, the...
