The high strength to weight ratio of carbon fiber has made it as an attractive energy-saving
material over the conventional strength-bearing materials like steel. Realizing the trend, the …

Adsorption of surfactants to fluid interfaces occurs in numerous technological and daily-life
contexts. The coverage at the interface and other properties of the formed adsorption layers …

Multiphase systems and their behaviors/characteristics appear to be crucial in a variety of
industries such as the oil and gas sector, pharmaceutical industry, and food industry. In this …

Although it is well known that solid particles adsorb at interfaces, no consensus has been
reached on whether the adsorbed nanoparticles affect interfacial tension. In this work the …

The properties of 3 nm-diameter silica nanoparticles with different surface chemistry were
systematically investigated at the decane− water interface using molecular dynamics …

Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the effect of TX-100
surfactant on the interfacial activity of ionic surfactants SDS, CTAB and SDBS at the air/water …

Surfactants play essential roles in many commonplace applications and industrial
processes. Although significant progress has been made over the past decades with regard …

The effect of Ca2+ ions on the hydration shell of sodium dodecyl carboxylate (SDC) and
sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDSn) monolayer at vapor/liquid interfaces was studied using …

Quantitatively understanding the self-assembly of amphiphilic macromolecules at liquid–
liquid interfaces is a fundamental scientific concern due to its relevance to a broad range of …

In this article, we present a general parametrisation scheme for many-body dissipative
particle dynamics (MDPD). The scheme is based on matching model components to …
