Robert Sammler, 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.
