Formal Charges02:42

Formal Charges

40.0K
In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

Solvents01:12

Solvents

70.0K
A solvent is a substance, most often a liquid, that can dissolve other substances. Here, the substance being dissolved is called a solute. When a solvent and a solute combine, they form a solution - a homogenous mixture of both the solvent and the solute. Water is a universal biological solvent. Its polar structure allows it to dissolve many other polar compounds. The ability of water to dissolve is governed by a balance between water molecules binding to each other and binding to the solute.

Implicit Memories01:24

Implicit Memories

444
Implicit memories, also known as non-declarative memories, are long-term memories that function outside of conscious awareness. These memories influence behavior and skills without explicit knowledge. This type of memory is evident in tasks like playing tennis, snowboarding, and texting. Implicit memory has three subsystems: procedural memory, conditioning, and priming. This type of memory is essential in various activities, from everyday tasks to specialized skills.

Implicit Differentiation01:25

Implicit Differentiation

29
In classical mechanics, motion is often described through relationships between spatial coordinates and time. A car moving along a straight highway with constant acceleration serves as a simple case where velocity is an explicit function of time. This scenario results in a linear equation, enabling straightforward analysis using basic differentiation techniques.In contrast, a satellite in circular orbit follows a path defined by an implicit function. The position of the satellite is constrained...

Polymers02:34

Polymers

40.5K
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate01:25

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate

670
Aggregate shape is classified based on the relative sharpness or roundness of the edges and corners. This classification includes categories like rounded, angular, elongated, and flaky, each with specific characteristics. Rounded aggregates, fully shaped by attrition, are typical of river or seashore gravel, while angular aggregates, such as crushed rock, have well-defined edges. Aggregates that are elongated and flaky are less desirable, as they can reduce the workability and strength of...

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Polymer physics
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Implicit-solvent coarse-graining (CG) models are crucial for simulating large systems like polymers.
  • Existing methods often struggle to conserve the dynamic properties of the original microscopic system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a bottom-up CG method for implicit-solvent polymer modeling.
  • To ensure the conservation of dynamic properties from microscopic to CG scales.
  • To enable efficient simulation of long-time polymer dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Coarse-graining tens to hundreds of atoms into single CG particles.
  • Eliminating solvent degrees of freedom.
  • Employing the Mori-Zwanzig formalism to derive a generalized Langevin equation (GLE).
  • Utilizing an extended space with auxiliary variables to achieve Markovian dynamics from non-Markovian GLE.
  • Implementing a high-order time-integration scheme for accelerated simulations.

Main Results:

  • The developed CG method accurately reproduces dynamic properties (velocity autocorrelation function, diffusion coefficient, mean square displacement) of reference microscopic systems.
  • The extended dynamics approach successfully models solvent-mediated polymer dynamics.
  • Arbitrarily high-order CG models can be constructed to match microscopic dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • The established implicit-solvent CG modeling method is validated for various polymers.
  • This approach provides a rigorous link between microscopic and CG dynamics.
  • The method is effective for characterizing the long-time dynamics of polymers in solution.
