Dissipative particle dynamics(DPD) method was used to simulate the interaction between KGM and the cationic surfactant. Influences of concentration, temperature and shear process on the structure and properties of aggregates were mainly examined. The results revealed that the density peak increased with the increase of concentration of KGM. With increasing the temperature, density peak moved to the right and increased, and then decreased when the temperature rose to a certain value. The density peak moved to the right at the low shear rate while decreased at the high one. During simulation, the high viscosity related to the low diffusion rate, which made it difficult to form a large continuous phase.展开更多

Dissipative particle dynamics method was applied in the structure simulation of KGM. The results reveled that acetyl residues of KGM were bonded with water molecules in aqueous solutions. Increasing the hydrogen bond formation decreases the energy in acetyl system. The expect-valuation of the thermal state with respect to the Hamiltonian is negative. Hence, the total energy of konjac glucomnnan chain with the acetyl groups decreases, which indicates the increasing stability of konjac glucomnnan chain. Our approach could provide a new insight into the investigation on the stability of konjac glucomnnan chain.展开更多
