Statistical Thermodynamics and Computer Simulations of Complex Molecules in Bulk and at Surfaces

Objective

The aim of the project is to perform advanced theoretical and computer simulation studies of nonuniform fluids involving complex molecules. It comprises of three work packages: (i) fluids in contact with tethered layers formed on surfaces and in pores, (ii) substrate driven self-assembly of supramolecular structures formed by complex organic molecules, and (iii) substrate induced self-assembly of nanoparticles with chemical dichotomy.
The first work package will involve research of thermodynamic properties and microscopic structures of fluids in contact with a single surface and in pores with walls modified by tethered brushes. We intend to study how these properties depend on the molecular parameters of the model, as well as on thermodynamic variables. We plan to perform studies at different levels of modeling of tethered brushes, from molecular to coarse-grained models, and apply different theoretical tools (density functional theory, molecular dynamics and dissipative particle dynamics simulations).
The goal of the second work package will be to study the surface-induced self-assembling of Liquid crystalline dendrimers (LCDr) into bulk as well as surface phases.We will develop a range of surface potentials and study the surface driven self-assembly into monolayer and thin films. Then, we shall investigate the surface induced assembly of liquid crystalline dendrimers into bulk phases in wide slit pores and in the cases of the surface anchoring frustration.
The third work package involves studies of behavior of Janus particles in the bulk and at surfaces. In particular, we plan to determine the structure and phase behavior of self-assembled phases of simple dichotomic (Janus) molecules. Then, we shall investigate transport phenomena in self-assembled fluid nanostructures formed by dichotomic molecules and attempt to develop realistic models of self-assembled phases formed by complex organic fluids.
