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
