Modeling Solution Drying by Moving a Liquid-Vapor Interface: Method and Applications

Yanfei Tang, John E. McLaughlan, Gary S. Grest +1

A method of simulating the drying process of a soft matter solution with an implicit solvent model by moving the liquid-vapor interface is applied to various solution films and dro…

Chain Conformations and Phase Separation in Polymer Solutions with Varying Solvent Quality

Yisheng Huang, Shengfeng Cheng

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the conformations of a single polymer chain, represented by the Kremer-Grest bead-spring model, in a solution with a Lennard-…

Stratification of drying particle suspensions: Comparison of implicit and explicit solvent simulations

Yanfei Tang, Gary S. Grest, Shengfeng Cheng

Large scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to study drying suspensions of a binary mixture of large and small particles in explicit and implicit solvents. The solvent is f…
