However, understanding the failure mechanisms at atomic to micron scales remains a persistent challenge. In this work, we present the first application of machine learning potential (MLP) for NEPE, achieving ab initio-level accuracy while significantly enhancing computational efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional methods. Using the MLP model, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to investigate the effects of molecular size, strain rate, and temperature on the mechanical behavior of NEPE. Key findings indicate that the mechanical performance is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, with tensile strength decreasing significantly from 240 to 330 K. To bridge the gap between MD simulations and experimental results, the time-temperature superposition (TTS) principle was employed, enabling a reliable virtual evaluation of the mechanical properties of NEPE matrix. The predicted tensile strength range of 8 to 22 MPa aligns well with experimental data, validating the proposed approach. This research not only enhances the understanding of the mechanical properties of NEPE at the atomic level but also establishes a robust framework for high-performance propellant design through the integration of machine learning potentials and multiscale modeling techniques. The findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the safety and functionality of NEPE in solid rocket applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":60,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry B","volume":" ","pages":"7631-7641"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assess the contributions of the two release mechanisms for doxorubicin loaded via a pH-gradient into lysolipid-containing thermosensitive liposomes. To this end, release into buffer at physiological pH is compared with release into acidic buffer which should eliminate unloading but leave leakage largely unaffected. Above the transition point at ≈41 °C, unloading contributes ∼30% to the overall fast drug release occurring within 30 s. Immediately below the transition, there is still partial release and partial collapse of the pH-gradient but no substantial unloading. This can be explained by a low permeability of gel-phase lipid for (even deprotonated) doxorubicin and insufficient deprotonation at these pH values.</p>","PeriodicalId":60,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry B","volume":" ","pages":"7518-7527"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
