Hossein Vahid will defend his doctoral dissertation on Friday 13.12.2024 at Aalto University
Title of the thesis: Modeling of charged polymers in aqueous solutions in the presence of salt ions and substrates
Opponent: Senior Research Associate Matej Kanduč, Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia
Supervisors: Prof. Maria Sammalkorpi and Prof. Tapio Ala-Nissilä, Aalto University
The summary of the thesis:
This research investigates the interactions of polyelectrolytes with salt ions and substrates using advanced theoretical models and molecular dynamics simulations. The study highlights key factors influencing polyelectrolyte behavior, including ion size, concentration, and valency, as well as the critical role of dielectric mismatches in modulating polyelectrolyte adsorption on solid substrates.
