Molecular dynamics simulation of the influence of polyacrylamide on the stability of sodium dodecyl sulfate foam

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the effect of the concentration of polyacrylamide (PAM) and the hydrolysis degree of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) on the stability of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) foams. The effect of polymer on the complex systems (PAM-SDS and HPAM-SDS) was investigated by analyzing the density distribution of SDS headgroups, the radial distribution function (RDF) of hydration of SDS...
