AbstractMolecular dynamics simulations have been used to characterize the development and longevity of associations between cholesterol and biphenyl mesogens when attached to linear siloxane oligomers by flexible spacer groups. Single substituents, alternating substituents, and diblock and triblock arrangements of the substituents were considered. The backbone and spacer groups allow sufficient flexibility that long-lived associations between cholesterol mesogens form quite rapidly, as do more fluid associations between biphenyl and cholesterol mesogens. The study of the individual mesogen interactions and how these lead to larger scale aligned structures has provided insight into the nature of the liquid crystalline state in these materials.

We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the ordering phenomena in two-dimensional (2D) liquid crystals over the one-dimensional periodic substrate (1DPS). We have used Gay-Berne (GB) potential to model the...

Lipidic-liquid crystalline nanostructures (lipidic cubic phases), which are biomimetic and stable in excess of water, were used as a convenient environment to investigate the transport properties of the membrane antiporter...

Hydrogen bonding OH···O geometries in the liquid state of linear alcohols, derived from ab initio MD simulations, show no change from methanol to pentanol, in contrast to that observed in their crystalline state.
