In this paper, we employ all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for studying the temperature response of densely grafted polyelectrolyte brushes. This is Harnoor’s 26th, Bhargav’s 5th, and Turash’s 7th paper from the group.

In this paper, we discover through simulations a new material: nanotube-salt-water hybrid, where water is entrapped in 0D state and anions are rendered highly immobile confined within a 1D nanostructure (namely Boron nitride nanotube). This is Bhargav’s 4th paper and Yanbin’s 19th paper from the group. Congrats both.

In this paper, we quantify the effect of monovalent and multi-valent counterions in bridging interactions that ultimately dictate the height of the polyelectrolyte brushes (whose charges are screened by these counterions). This is Turash’s 6th and Harnoor’s 25th paper from the group. Congratulations All !!!

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

In this paper, we study the thermoosmotic transport in nanochannels grafted with polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes modeled using augmented Strong Stretching Theory (SST). This is Vishal’s 12th, Ankit’s 8th, and Harnoor’s 23rd paper from the group. Congratulations to all!!!!
