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-…
On the Nature of Freezing/Melting Water in Ionic Polysulfones
Britannia Vondrasek, Chengyuan Wen, Shengfeng Cheng +2
We investigate the behavior of hydrated sulfonated polysulfones over a range of ion contents through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscop…
Atomic Origins of Friction Reduction in Metal Alloys
Shengfeng Cheng, Michael Chandross
We present the results of large scale molecular dynamics simulations aimed at understanding the origins of high friction coefficients in pure metals, and their concomitant reductio…
Hydration, Ion Distribution, and Ionic Network Formation in Sulfonated Poly(arylene ether sulfones)
Britannia Vondrasek, Chengyuan Wen, Shengfeng Cheng +2
We use molecular dynamics simulations to probe hydration, ion spacing, and cation-anion interaction in two sulfonated polysulfones with different ion distributions along the polyme…
