Friction coefficient and viscosity of polymer brushes with and without free polymers as slip agents

A. Gama Goicochea, R. López-Esparza, M. A. Balderas Altamirano +3

There is ample evidence that polymer brushes reduce friction between surfaces. Several industrial applications take advantage of this fact, such as those in plastic bag production,…

Folding of the apolipoprotein A1 driven by the salt concentration as a possible mechanism to improve cholesterol trapping

M. A. Balderas Altamirano, A. Gama Goicochea, E. Pérez

The folding of the cholesterol trapping apolipoprotein A1 in aqueous solution at increasing ionic strength is studied using atomically detailed molecular dynamics simulations. We c…
