Dissertation

Molecular Dynamics Computer Simulations of Surfactant Monolayers: Monododecyl Pentaethylene Glycol at the Surface between Air and Water.     Molecular dynamics computer simulations got detailed insight into the dynamic properties of monododecyl pentaethylene glycol (C12E5) monolayers at the water surface. The unpolar part of the molecules the water-soluble glycol chains were aligned more perpendicular to the water surface with a tilt angle of only 11º. These chains were stiff. All alkyl and glycol chain ends were characterized by striking flexibility. The calculation of pair distribution functions and detailed pattern analysis of the oxygen atoms within the glycol chains revealed a pentagonal arrangement in the highly ordered internal segments of the E5 chain.
