Journal ArticleDOI

Probing the Effect of Side-Chain Length on the Aggregation of a Model Asphaltene Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: In this article, a series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the effect of aliphatic side-chain length on the aggregation behavior of a model asphaltene in water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of Water/Oil Interfacial Tension by Model Asphaltenes: The Governing Role of Surface Concentration

TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of asphaltene concentrations on the interfacial tension (IFT) of the oil/water interface revealed that surface concentration, rather than the commonly used bulk concentration, determines the reduction of oil/ water IFTs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Dynamics Investigation on the Aggregation of Violanthrone78-Based Model Asphaltenes in Toluene

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed on Violanthrone78-based model asphaltenes with different aliphatic/aromatic ratios to investigate the aggregation mechanisms of asphtenes in toluene.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-dimensional self-assembly of polyaromatic compounds revealed by molecular dynamics simulations.

TL;DR: N-heptane can prevent the side chains from interfering with PA core stacking while having limited attraction with the cores, which facilitates the 1D self-assembly, providing insights into controlling the self-assembling process in the design of optical and electronic nanodevices.
