Molecular-dynamics simulations are used to explore bilayers formed by simple ionic surfactants at the mica–water interface, and to shed light on experimental observations.

Peptides and their derivatives can be applied in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to their ability to form an emulsion with hydrophobic molecules. However, peptide research for EOR application, either theoretical or computational studies, is still limited. The purpose of this research is to analyse the potency of the X6D model of surfactant peptide for EOR by molecular dynamics simulations in oil-water interface. Molecular dynamics simulation using GROMACS Software with Martini force field can assess a peptides ability for self-assembly and emulsification on a microscopic scale. Molecular dynamics simulations combined with coarse grained models will give information about the dynamics of peptide molecules in oil-water interface and the calculation of interfacial tension value. Four designs of X6D model: F6D, L6D, V6D, and I6D are simulated on the oil-water interface. The value of interfacial tension from simulation show the trend of F6D L6D I6D V6D. The results indicate that V6D has the greatest reduction in interfacial tension and has the stability until 90C with the salinity of at least 1M NaCl.

By molecular dynamics simulations, we show that dynamics of water confined in ionic surfactants soft confining matrices is sub-diffusive. Our in-depth analysis reveals that this sub-diffusive behavior originates at the water–matrix interface, where water molecules can be trapped for extended periods of time.
