- W2808727075 abstract "For a wide range of modern soft functional materials, the selective transport of subnanometer-sized molecules (“penetrants”) through a stimuli-responsive polymeric membrane is key to the desired function. In this study, we investigate the diffusion properties of penetrants ranging from nonpolar to polar molecules and ions in a matrix of collapsed poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) polymers in water by means of extensive molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the water distributes heterogeneously in fractal-like cluster structures embedded in the nanometer-sized voids of the polymer matrix. The nanoclustered water acts as an important player in the penetrant diffusion, which proceeds via a hopping mechanism through “wet” transition states: the penetrants hop from one void to another via transient water channels opened by rare but decisive polymer fluctuations. The diffusivities of the studied penetrants extend over almost 5 orders of magnitude and thus enable a formulation of an analytical scaling relation with a clear non-Stokesian, exponential dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the penetrant’s radius for the uncharged penetrants. Charged penetrants (ions) behave differently as they get captured in large isolated water clusters. Finally, we find large energetic activation barriers for hopping, which significantly depend on the hydration state and thereby challenge available transport theories." @default.
