Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the aggregation behavior of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the surfaces of SiO 2 and CaCO 3 . The results indicate that SDS molecules formed a spherical micelle structure near the SiO 2 surface; moreover, there were more head groups near the SiO 2 surface. However, they could form a self-assemble film on the CaCO 3 surface. The self-assemble film of SDS on the CaCO 3 surface was more stable than that on the SiO 2 surface. Our simulation results have a certain significance to understand the aggregation behavior of SDS on different surfaces on molecular level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
