Guanidinium can both Cause and Prevent the Hydrophobic Collapse of Biomacromolecules
Jan Heyda, Halil I. Okur, Jana Hladílková +6
A combination of Fourier transform infrared and phase transition measurements as well as molecular computer simulations, and thermodynamic modeling were performed to probe the mech…
Tuning the collapse transition of weakly charged polymers by ion-specific screening and adsorption
Richard Chudoba, Jan Heyda, Joachim Dzubiella
The experimentally observed swelling and collapse response of weakly charged polymers to the addition of specific salts displays quite convoluted behavior that is not easy to categ…
All-atom REMD simulation of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide thermodynamics in water: a model with a distinct 2-state behavior
Vladimir Palivec, Denis Zadrazil, Jan Heyda
Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) is a thermoresponsive polymer, an essential building block of a large family of soft smart materials. In neat water it undergoes upon heating at…
A temperature-dependent implicit-solvent model of polyethylene glycol in aqueous solution
Richard Chudoba, Jan Heyda, Joachim Dzubiella
A temperature (T)-dependent coarse-grained (CG) Hamiltonian of polyethylene glycol/oxide (PEG/PEO) in aqueous solution is reported to be used in implicit-solvent material models in…
Sensing solvents with ultra-sensitive porous poly(ionic liquid) actuators
Qiang Zhao, Jan Heyda, Joachim Dzubiella +3
We introduced a new concept for fabricating solvent stimulus polymer actuators with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy. This was accomplished by integrating porous architecture…
Tuning the critical solution temperature of polymers by copolymerization
Bernhard Schulz, Richard Chudoba, Jan Heyda +1
We study statistical copolymerization effects on the upper critical solution temperature (CST) of generic homopolymers by means of coarse-grained Langevin dynamics computer simulat…
Thermodynamic Description of the LCST of Charged Thermoresponsive Copolymers
Jan Heyda, Sebastian Soll, Jiayin Yuan +1
The dependence of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of charged, thermosensitive copolymers on their charge fraction and the salt concentration is investigated by emplo…
Rationalizing polymer swelling and collapse under repulsive to highly attractive cosolvent conditions
Anja Muzdalo, Jan Heyda, Joachim Dzubiella
The collapse and swelling behavior of a generic homopolymer is studied using implicit-solvent, explicit-cosolvent Langevin dynamics computer simulations for varying interaction str…
