ABSTRACTMany-body polarizable force field has been developed and validated for a wide class of ionic liquids. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed on 29 ionic liquids. This presentation will focus on ability of developed force fields to predict condensed phase properties and on understanding the influence of many-body polarizable interactions on the ionic liquid structure and transport.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which treat atoms as point particles and trace their individual trajectories, are always employed to investigate the transport properties of a many-body system. The diffusion coefficients of atoms in solid can be obtained by the Einstein relation and the Green-Kubo relation. An overview of the MD simulations of atoms diffusion in the bulk, surface and grain boundary is provided. We also give an example of the diffusion of helium in tungsten to illustrate the procedure, as well as the importance of the choice of interatomic potentials. MD simulations can provide intuitive insights into the atomic mechanisms of diffusion.

The effect of aqueous solutions of selected ionic liquids solutions on Ideonella sakaiensis PETase with bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) substrate were studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations in order to identify the possible effect of ionic liquids on the structure and dynamics of enzymatic Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hydrolysis. The use of specific ionic liquids can potentially enhance the enzymatic hydrolyses of PET where these ionic liquids are known to partially dissolve PET. The aqueous solution of cholinium phosphate were found to have the smallest effect of the structure of PETase, and its interaction with (BHET) as substrate was comparable to that with the pure water. Thus, the cholinium phosphate was identified as possible candidate as ionic liquid co-solvent to study the enzymatic hydrolyses of PET.
