Problems solved by technology

Molecular dynamics simulation is an effective means to explore the nature of the microcosmic interaction of matter from the atomic and molecular level. Currently, the widely used methods for characterizing and detecting nano-materials in media (such as DLS, AFM, TEM, etc.) are difficult to meet the requirements of quantitative monitoring at the atomic and molecular level. The requirements for the microscopic properties and dynamic changes of the material surface, and the molecular dynamics simulation technology makes up for this deficiency

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for simulating interfacial interaction of aggregation of nanometer matter in a water environment through a computer. The method comprises the following steps that (1) a geometric model of interfaces of the nanometer matter in the water environment is constructed, and physical significance is given to the geometric model; (2) the geometric model is optimized with an energy minimization method, and the structure of the geometric model is made to be more authentic; (3) molecule dynamic simulation is conducted under the thermodynamic parameters identical with an authentic environment by referencing experiment researches, and motion locus files and related computing files of all atoms are obtained; (4) the dynamic features and pivotal roles of the interfacial interaction of aggregation of the nanometer matter in the water environment are researched by simulating the obtained motion locus files and the related computing files. According to the method for simulating interfacial interaction of aggregation of the nanometer matter in the water environment through the computer, the potential pollution effects of nanometer pollutants in the water environment are quantitatively analyzed from the angle of interfacial interaction of aggregation of the nanometer pollutants on the level of the molecule and the atoms, and a theoretical basis is laid for water environment biological safety guarantees and the sustainable development of the nanometer technology.
