Adsorption of a spherical nanoparticle in polymer brushes: Brownian dynamics investigation

We use Brownian dynamics simulations to study the adsorption behavior of a nanosized particle in polymer brushes. The adsorption process, the dynamic behavior of the nanoparticle in the brush, the penetration depth, the diffusion coefficient of the nanoparticle in different depths of the brush, and the forces exerted on the nanoparticle by the surrounding brush are all investigated for different grafting densities.
