Abstract

Structural properties of ionomer aggregations in a mixture of 1-propanol (NPA) and water have been investigated using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The dependence of NPA content on the ionomer structures was studied by systematically changing the NPA content in the system. The self-assembly behavior of ionomers into cylindrical bundle-like aggregates was observed for all NPA content solutions. The ionomer aggregation size was found to tend to be larger and more dispersive at higher NPA contents, although the ionomers aggregated into one cluster at all NPA contents.
