Adsorption Free Energy of Cellulose Nanocrystal on Water–Oil Interface

To investigate the amphiphilicity of cellulose, a series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed with a cellulose nanocrystal and a water–octane interfacial system. Assuming that the axis of cellulose is parallel to the water–octane interface, the freedoms of motion of the nanocrystal were...
