Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulation in a cylindrical geometry was used to analyzed the spreading of one- and two-components polymer nano droplets were studied. The dynamics of the components of each droplet was analyzed and the spreading rates of two-component droplets was compared to their single-component analogs. Spreading models for the cylindrical geometry analogous to the kinetic and hydrodynamic behavior was observed at earlier times for the cylindrical geometry. It was observed that an increase in the strength of the surface dissipation enabled to slow the droplet spreading rate enough for the N=100 for hydrodynamic dissipation to be significant.
