Coarse-grained force-field for large scale molecular dynamics simulations of polyacrylamide and polyacrylamide-gels based on quantum mechanics

We developed a new coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics force field for polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer based on fitting to the quantum mechanics (QM) equation of state (EOS). In this method, all nonbond interactions between representative beads are parameterized using a series of QM-EOS, which significantly improves the accuracy in comparison to common CG methods derived from atomistic molecular dynamics. This CG force-field has both higher accuracy and improved computational efficiency with respect to the OPLS atomistic force field. The nonbond components of the EOS were obtained from cold-compression curves on PAM crystals with rigid chains, while the covalent terms that contribute to the EOS were obtained using relaxed chains. For describing PAM gels we developed water–PAM interaction parameters using the same method. We demonstrate that the new CG-PAM force field reproduces the EOS of PAM crystals, isolated PAM chains, and water–PAM systems, while successfully predicting such experimental quantities as density, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and melting point.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
