| dc.description.abstract | Polyelectrolytes are polymers or macromolecules charged in solution which represents both a biological and an industrial interest. Their assembly properties are largely controlled by long range electrostatic interac- tions. Despite a recent improvement in the understanding of the mechanisms involved, the predic- tion/characterization of the assembly processes remain problematic. This is due to the fact that the formation of complexes results from a delicate compromise between various interactions in addition to being sensitive to many experimental parameters such as the preparation conditions, the nature of the polyelectrolytes, the tem- perature and solvent effects... It is the object of this thesis to better understand these assembly phenomena by an approach based on molecular simulation. In particular, we will focus on two systems of interest for future technological applica- tions. A first project will consist in modeling by Monte Carlo simulations the assemblies of functionalized gold nanoparticles in the presence of one or several DNAs. Then, it was reported that the properties of electri- cal transport of a complex made up of a semi-conducting polymer, the poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) solubilized in water with its insulating counter-chain polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) have been im- proved by adding ionic liquid. The objective of this project will consist in understanding the mechanism of PEDOT:PSS conductivity enhancement by using the tools of molecular dynamics. |
