Unraveling the Hydration Behavior of Poly(2-Methoxyethyl Acrylate) and Its Model Monomer via Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The hydration behavior of polymeric materials is governed by a subtle interplay between local chemical functionality and polymer backbone connectivity. In this work, we investigate the hydration behavior of poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) and its monomeric analogue, 2-methoxyethyl acetate (MEA), using molecular...
