(141e) Investigation of the Properties of Cellulose-Based Polymers in Aqueous Solution by Molecular Simulation
Author
Sammler, R., The Dow Chemical Company
In this study, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the properties of cellulose-based polymer molecules in aqueous solution. This work is designed to lead to better understanding of the fundamental physics of cellulose derivatives in water and to new insights on how to structure molecules for specific commercial applications.
