The Viscosity of Polyelectrolyte Solutions and its Dependence on their Persistence Length, Concentration and Solvent Quality
Estela Mayoral, Juan de Dios Hernández Velázquez, Armando Gama Goicochea
In this work, a comprehensive study about the influence on shear viscosity of polyelectrolyte concentration, persistence length, salt concentration and solvent quality is reported,…
Modeling of Branched Thickening Polymers under Poiseuille Flow Gives Clues as to how to Increase a Solvent Viscosity
E. Mayoral, A. Gama Goicochea
The viscosity enhancement of a solvent produced by the addition of thickening branched polymers is predicted as a function of polymer concentration, branch length and persistence l…
Self assembly of model surfactants as reverse micelles in nonpolar solvents and their role as interfacial tension modifiers
E. Mayoral, J. A. Arcos-Casarrubias, A. Gama Goicochea
The self assembly of linear surfactants into reverse micelles (RMs) in nonpolar solvents and their efficiency in reducing the interfacial tension is studied using dissipative parti…
Scaling features of the tribology of polymer brushes of increasing grafting density around the mushroom to brush transition
E. Mayoral, J. Klapp, A. Gama Goicochea
Non equilibrium coarse grained, dissipative particle dynamics simulations of complex fluids, made up of polymer brushes tethered to planar surfaces immersed in a solvent yield non…
Parametrisation in electrostatic DPD Dynamics and Applications
E. Mayoral, E. Nahmad-Achar
A brief overview of mesoscopic modelling via dissipative particle dynamics is presented, with emphasis on the appropriate parametrisation and how to calculate the relevant paramete…
Multiscale Modeling of the effect of Pressure on the Interfacial Tension and other Cohesion Parameters in Binary Mixtures
E. Mayoral, E. Nahmad-Achar
We study and predict the interfacial tension, solubility parameters and Flory-Huggins parameters of binary mixtures as functions of pressure and temperature, using multiscale numer…
