Nanotribology of biopolymer brushes in aqueous solution using dissipative particle dynamics simulations: an application to PEG covered liposomes in theta solvent

A. Gama Goicochea, E. Mayoral, J. Klapp +1

We undertake the investigation of sheared polymer chains grafted on flat surfaces to model liposomes covered with polyethylene glycol brushes as a case study for the mechanisms of…
