Those MD simulations were generally performed through specified ReaxFF reactive force field to obtain the properties of the chemical system such as molecular energy, density, mean square displacement (MSD) and molecular coordinate. The result of MD simulations presented the clear superheating phenomenon of pure liquid diethyl ether system in the studied environment. The obtained phase transition point was much higher than the reported one. The deviation between two temperatures was about 132.369[Formula: see text]K. It was also demonstrated that the transition process was associated with the sharp increment of potential energy, volume, diffusion coefficient and cohesive energy. However, the split of these diethyl ether molecules was not uniform. The cluster-like transition state was observed before the end of the vaporing process (460[Formula: see text]K). As for the addition of cellulose dinitrate tripolymer, these molecules were not agglomerated in the simulated organic mixture. However, the diffusion of cellulose dinitrate tripolymer was much weaker than those diethyl ether molecules. While the concentration of cellulose dinitrate tripolymer was higher, molecular interactions of this organic mixture were consequently improved, and this further limited the diffusion behavior of the entire chemical system. It could be concluded that the diffusion behavior of the entire organic system was decreased with more amount of cellulose dinitrate tripolymer molecules.","PeriodicalId":16406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular and Engineering Materials","volume":"08 1","pages":"2050001"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/s225123732050001x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49380949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the approaches used to functionalize piezo transducers, mixed self-assembled monolayers (MSAMs) are one of the most successful, given that they allow the obtaining of semi-crystalline molecular arrays and the arrangement of a bioreceptor on the surface. But, to deploy MSAMs on a substrate effectively, one must optimize and characterize the structural ratio between them and the bioreceptor. In this paper, we developed a molecular model of the interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and MSAMs-functionalized gold substrates. First, we evaluated the conditions for the functionalization of the substrates and found that a 50:1 16-mercaptohexadecaonic acid (MHDA) to 11 mercapto-1-undecanol (MUA) ratio produced the best features on the surface. We also evaluated the specific conditions to immobilize BSA on MSAMs (using the afore-established ratio) via Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and then on a 10[Formula: see text]MHz quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and with the data obtained we concluded that a structural ratio of 0.005 (MSAM/BSA) is obtained when 1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M MHDA and 200[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g/mL BSA were used, provided the most suitable conditions for the functionalization of a piezo transducer.","PeriodicalId":16406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular and Engineering Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S2251237319500011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42412838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
