| Summary: | Molecular dynamic simulation of 2D silica and modified silica ring interaction with water/ alpha
olefin sulfonate (AOS) was conducted and the interfacial tension as well as diffusion coefficient was
predicted through the analysis. The simulation was performed using Material Studio software by
assuming the silica nanoparticles as a 2D structure that represents a ring-like shape. The modified 2D
silica ring was attached to hexyl-trimethoxysilane (HTMS) to create more hydrophobic structure on
the silica surface. The analysis of the mean square displacement (MSD) shows that the diffusion of
AOS molecules in the system with modified 2D silica ring were higher than unmodified silica ring
which were 0.3099 Å2
/ps and 0.2891 Å2
/ps, respectively. The surface tension for the system after 100
ps with modified 2D silica ring was also lower than surface tension for unmodified silica ring which
were 1.80x1010 GPa and 2.39x1010 GPa, respectively. |
