March 2021: Paper accepted in ACS Nano
In this paper, we employ all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the electroosmotic transport in nanochannels grafted with polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes. The paper reveals three key findings: (1) there is overscreening (OS) within the PE brush layer in presence of added salt (i.e., there are more number of screening counterions than needed to screen

January 2021: Paper accepted in Macromolecules
In this paper, we discover the effect the presence of the polyelectrolyte (PE) brush induced confinement in altering the water-water and water-PE hydrogen bond energies and the associated effect on water rotational dynamics inside the PE brush layer. This is Harnoor’s 22nd paper, Thrash’s 4th paper, and Bhargav’s 3rd paper from the group. Congratulations All
