Shape characteristics of the aggregates formed by amphiphilic stars in water: dissipative particle dynamics study

We study the effect of the molecular architecture of amphiphilic star polymers on the shape of aggregates they
 form in water. Both solute and solvent are considered at a coarse-grained level by means of dissipative particle
 dynamics simulations. Four different molecular architectur...

description We study the effect of the molecular architecture of amphiphilic star polymers on the shape of aggregates they
 form in water. Both solute and solvent are considered at a coarse-grained level by means of dissipative particle
 dynamics simulations. Four different molecular architectures are considered: the miktoarm star, two different
 diblock stars and a group of linear diblock copolymers, all of the same composition and molecular weight. Aggregation is started from a closely packed bunch of Na molecules immersed into water. In most cases, a single
 aggregate is observed as a result of equilibration, and its shape characteristics are studied depending on the aggregation number Na. Four types of aggregate shape are observed: spherical, rod-like and disc-like micelle and
 a spherical vesicle. We estimate “phase boundaries” between these shapes depending on the molecular architecture. Sharp transitions between aspherical micelle and a vesicle are found in most cases. The pretransition
 region shows large amplitude oscillations of the shape characteristics with the oscillation frequency strongly
 dependent on the molecular architecture. В роботi вивчається ефект молекулярної архiтектури амфiфiльних зiркових полiмерiв на форму агрегатiв,
