Supramolecule Structure for Amphiphilic Molecule by Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation
Hiroaki Nakamura
Abstract
Meso-scale simulation of structure formation for AB-dimers in solution W monomers was performed by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) algorithm. As a simulation model, modified Jury Model was adopted Jury, S. et al. "Simulation of amphiphilic mesophases using dissipative particle dynamics," Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. vol.1(1999) pp. 2051-2056, which represents mechanics of self-assembly for surfactant hexaethylene glycol dodecyl ether (C12E6) and water(H2 O). The same phase diagram as Jury's result was obtained. We also found that it takes a longer time to form the hexagonal phase (H1) than to form the lamellar phase (Lalpha).
