Abstract

We study the static and dynamic properties of water near a poly(styrene sulfonate)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PSS/PDADMA) bilayer adsorbed onto a substrate by atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Qualitative changes in the dynamics of water in the proximity of the adsorbed bilayer are observed - such as in the lateral diffusion, residence time and hydrogen-bonding lifetime - as compared with water in the presence of the bare substrate. Static properties of water are similarly influenced, and a high polarization of water molecules is found to be present surprisingly far from the adsorbed bilayer.
