Abstract

Aqueous solutions of an acrylic copolymer and a low-molecular-weight anionic surfactant are studied using mesoscopic simulation by dissipative particle dynamics. The possibility of formation of a homogeneous film from the acrylic copolymer, where a domain structure is absent and a surfactant is separated from the polymer phase, is studied. A mesoscopic model taking into account the main structural features of the acrylic copolymer chain and the surfactant is proposed. It was shown that a change in the parameters of electrostatic interaction influences the fineness of the systems under study, but does not change the morphology of forming films. Conditions for the preparation of a film with homogeneous morphology are stated.
