Polymer brush-modified nanoparticles

Understanding the interfacial behaviors of polymer nanomaterials at Hquid interface has received much attention due to their excellent properties and potential applications in areas such as controlled drug dehvery, biocompatible materials, Pickering emulsion, biosensing, and other fields (Shan and Tenhu, 2007). We mainly focus on the interfacial behaviors of three nanomaterials at Hquid interface, which consists of polymer, nanoparticles, and polymer brush-modified nanoparticles at liquid interface. Numerous relevant experiments and simulation works have been published however, it is stiH difficult to interpret the experimental observation at the atomistic level therefore, molecular simulation is an effective complemental approach. Due to the Hmitation at longer timescale and bi er space scale for all-atom molecular simulations, a lot of works based on coarse-grained molecular simulations have been reported.
