Atomistic Modelling of Confined Polypropylene Chains between Ferric Oxide Substrates at Melt Temperature

The interactions and conformational characteristics of confined molten polypropylene (PP) chains between ferric oxide (Fe2O3) substrates were investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. A comparative analysis of the adsorbed amount shows strong adsorption of the chains on the high-energy su...
