SUMMARY:[Biophysics seminar] Fabio Staniscia: "Adsorption at a curved interface"
DESCRIPTION:We study the effect of curvature of the interface on the adsorption properties of water droplets. Using a computational approach we show a decrease in the adsorption strength with the droplet curvature\, which is accompanied by a decrease of surface tension. We investigate theoretically the causes and implications of this phenomenon.\n\n\nThe meeting will take place in the seminar room of physics (106).

SUMMARY:[Biophysics seminar] Matej Kanduč: "Monolayer Adsorption Versus Bulk Micellization: Insights from Molecular Simulations"
DESCRIPTION:Adsorption of amphiphilic molecules to aqueous interfaces occurs in many technological and biological settings\, sometimes desired (stabilization of foams)\, while other times not (contamination). I will discuss how atomistic computer simulations can help us elucidate molecular mechanisms of surfactant adsorption\, ranging from short-chain alcohols to double-tail lipids. \nSmall surfactants form loose monolayers and exhibit rapid exchange between the interface and bulk\, which can be followed in the simulations. \nSurfactants with longer alkyl chains adsorb as denser monolayers and exchange on experimental timescales that are too slow to be captured in simulations\, which challenges molecular modeling. The modeling of this regime requires advanced computational techniques that connect interface and bulk phases via precise determinations of their chemical potentials. \nFinally\, double-chain surfactants (also called “lipids”) do not exchange between bulk and interface both on experimental and simulation timescales. They exist as bilayer aggregates already in solution and adsorb to surfaces in the form of monolayers only under certain conditions. As it turns out\, a universal determiner for adsorption is the wetting contact angle of the surface. Only surfaces with contact angles larger than around 60-70° are capable of forming lipid monolayers.
