Introduction Effects of side-chain Effects of side-chain Side-chains affect the dynamics of PEO From experiment: the biggest effect is around the 6-8 EO monomers Can we use MD to understand these effects?

Introduction Molecular Dynamical (MD) simulations Molecular Dynamical (MD) simulations Classical Newtonian mechanics Potentials

Introduction MD simulation analyse MD simulation analyse Radial distribution function (RDF): Mean Squared Displacement (MSD) and 3D diffusion coefficient (D): Average Velocity (AV):

Method Potentials Potentials The majority of the potentials we use for PEO originate from earlier work The torsional potential for the C-C-C-O dihedral angle in the side-chain linkage region is calculated by Quantum Mechanics (QM) Fig. 6. The region of the calculated torsional potential. C C C O

QM method and basis-sets: HF/6-31G **, HF/ G ** Technical information: A total of 784 CPU hours was used on our in-house Linux PC-cluster using NWChem software Analytical torsion potential function: Method Calculation of torsion potential C-C-C-O Calculation of torsion potential C-C-C-O u i are constants and  is the torsion angle. Fig. 7. Fitting of the calculated data (the red squares) to a 7 th order trigonometric polynom.

Method Fig. 8. The “unpacked” configuration with a single side-chain for MD simulation. 9 side-chain systems (marked as s5-s9, s11, s15, s19 and s23): a cubic periodic box (24.5 x 24.5 x 24.5 Å) containing a 186 EO-monomer PEO chain with a 5-9, 11, 15, 19, and 23 EO- monomer PEO side-chains. Reference system (marked as r): a cubic periodic box (24.5 x 24.5 x 24.5 Å) containing a single PEO chain involving 193 EO-monomers with no side-chain. Simulation boxes generated by controlled pivotal Monte Carlo growth. The density maintained around 1.0 g/cm 3. MD configurations MD configurations

MD simulations Intramolecular force fields: rigid bonds; angle and torsional potentials Long-range force fields: electrostatic and Buckingham’s potentials Calculation: Ewald summation of long-range forces used Configuration: a cubic MD box (24.5 x 24.5 x 24.5 Å) with periodic boundary conditions; density maintained at ~1 g/cm 3 Simulation process: time-step 0.5 fs, temperature 290 K, starting with NVT and followed by NpT for the 1000 ps Technical information: a total of 3900 CPU hours used on our in-house Linux PC cluster using DLPOLY software

Results AV for O-atoms along the side-chain for different side-chains lengths AV for O-atoms along the side-chain for different side-chains lengths Fig. 15. AV for O-atoms along the side-chain for different lengths. “1”: 1 st atom “max”: end of side-chain

Results Averaged AV for O-atoms at different side-chain lengths Averaged AV for O-atoms at different side-chain lengths Fig. 16. Averaged AV for O-atoms at different side-chain lengths (s5-s9, s11, s15, s19 and s23).

Summary RDF for the reference system (r) and all the side-chain systems (s5-s9, s11, s15, s19, s23) are identical The addition of side-chains decreases chain mobility A minimum occurs in the diffusion coefficents between 6 and 9 EO side- chain units – in excellent agreement with experiment! A maximum occurs in the side-chain diffusion coefficents between 5 and 11 EO side-chain units A maximum occurs in the side-chain atoms AVs between 6 and 8 EO side- chain units The average AV depends the side-chain length: two maxima a appear - at 8 and 15 EO side-chain units
