Effect of cross-linking on the diffusion of water, ions, and small molecules in hydrogels.
TL;DR: The present study reports on molecular dynamics investigations of chemically cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels with the aim of exploring the diffusion properties of water, ions, and rhodamine within the polymer at the molecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphitic carbon-water nonbonded interaction parameters
Yanbin Wu,Narayana R. Aluru +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Moller-Plesset perturbation theory of the second order (MP2) was employed to compute the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-water interaction energies, with proper size of basis sets and energy component analysis to extrapolate to infinite-sized graphene limit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Doping-Induced Tunable Wettability and Adhesion of Graphene
Ali Ashraf,Yanbin Wu,Michael Cai Wang,Keong Yong,Tao Sun,Yuhang Jing,Richard T. Haasch,Narayana R. Aluru,SungWoo Nam +8 more
TL;DR: Combined first-principles and atomistic calculations show that doping modulates the binding energy between water and graphene and thus increases its hydrophilicity, which opens up unique and new opportunities for the tunable wettability and adhesion of graphene for advanced coating materials and transducers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hexagonal boron nitride and water interaction parameters
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that end-to-end multiscale modeling, starting at detailed many-body quantum mechanics and ending with macroscopic properties, with the approximations controlled along the way, is feasible for these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopic investigation of the wettability of multilayer graphene using highly ordered pyrolytic graphite as a model material.
TL;DR: Low-pressure, high-temperature annealing as an effective technique to clean multilayer graphene without damaging the surface is confirmed, confirming the intrinsic water contact angle (WCA) of multilayers graphene.
