Self-assembled morphology of tripod nanoparticle solutions: the effect of arm length and hydrophobic ratio

Abstract

We have studied the self-assembled morphologies of tripod nanoparticle solutions confined in nanoslits using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations.

Computational and experimental studies on the micellar morphology and emission mechanisms of AIE and H-bonding fluorescent composites

“…Recently, many works have been devoted to examining the self-assembly of copolymer by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. [26][27][28][29][30] Yang and co-workers employed DPD simulations to investigate the mesoscopic behavior of reduction-responsive doxorubicin (DOX) drugloaded amphiphilic polymeric micelles of PCL-SS-PPEGMA, and the self assembly behavior, formation of DOX-loaded micelles, as well as the DOX reduction-responsive release process were simulated. The simulated results were in good agreement with the experimental data, proving that the DPD method can provide a practical mesoscopic approach for the reduction-responsive polymer micelles.…”
