Electrical Gating of Nanochannels of Polyelectrolyte Brushes, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ejtehadi, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The nuclear pore complex mediates all transport between the cell cytoplasm and the nucleus. Being inspired by this biological system, in this project we intended to design an artificial gate by using polyelectrolyte brushes in a cylindrical nanochannel, which will be opened by applying a tangent electrical field and will close by eliminating the field. Grafted polyelecrolyte brushes have the potential to be useful for the design of advanced gating systems for many applications like functional and conrolleble MEMS devices. In order to design the desired gating system we have employed the ESPResSo software to conduct a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation in NVT ensemble to simulate...
