半稀溶液和浓溶液的分子动力学模拟:渗透压下意外的有限尺寸效应

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Semi-Dilute and Concentrated Solutions: Unexpected Finite Size Effects in Osmotic Pressure

Ashod Khederlarian, Carmen Almasri, Leonid Klushin

摘要:

我们探索半稀释和浓缩的低聚物和聚合物在一个广泛的范围内的聚合指数N范围从1到100和范围内的单体数密度$ϕ$从0.1到0.8通过分子动力学模拟和良好的溶剂条件下。该参数范围涵盖无重叠和强链重叠两种情况,如通过聚合物填充分数$0.1\leΦ\le{14}$所量化的。与一些普遍的看法相反,渗透压的非理想部分表现出强烈的有限尺寸效应。在重叠区,它大大偏离de Cloizeaux的标度形式。有限尺寸校正项与1/N成比例,与$Φ$无关。我们提出了一个简单的唯象描述的渗透压在无限链的限制和1/N校正项的单体密度依赖性。我们将有限尺寸效应的处理扩展到包含2种不同链长的二元混合物,并证明了所提出的状态方程适用于有效的质量平均逆链长$1/N_{eff}$。我们还讨论了回转半径密度依赖性中的有限尺寸效应。

英文摘要:

We explore semi-dilute and concentrated oligomers and polymers in a broad range of polymerization indices N ranging from 1 to a 100 and in a range of monomer number densities $ϕ$ from 0.1 to 0.8 via molecular dynamics simulations and under good solvent conditions. This parameter range covers both no-overlap and strong chain overlap regimes, as quantified by the polymer packing fraction $0.1\leΦ\le{14}$. Contrary to some common beliefs, the non-ideal part of the osmotic pressure demonstrates strong finite size effects. In the overlap regime, it deviates substantially from the scaling form of de Cloizeaux. The finite size correction term is proportional to 1/N, irrespective of $Φ$. We propose a simple phenomenological description of the osmotic pressure in the infinite chain limit and of the monomer density dependence of the 1/N correction term. We extend the treatment of finite size effects to cover binary mixtures with 2 different chain lengths, and demonstrate that the proposed equation of state is applicable with an effective mass-averaged inverse chain length $1/N_{eff}$. We also discuss finite size effects in the density dependence of the gyration radius.
