摘要: The effects of temperature and solution concentration on the structure triblock polymeric surfactant (ethylene oxide)19(propylene oxide)29(ethylene oxide)19 (Pluronic P65) have been investigated by fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Flory–Huggins interaction parameter χ, hydrogen bonding mobility in aqueous P65 were covering a composition range 0.1–0.73 (water weight fraction) 273–373 K. parameters indicated that propylene oxide (PO) segments became hydrophobic with increase temperature, whereas ethylene (EO) remained hydrophilic, which caused repulsion between EO PO segments. intermolecular bonds including water–water water–P65 increased decreased temperature. critical micellar Pluronic predicted Fl...
