PSS and PDADMA polyelectrolytes


(provided by Jens Smiatek, smiatek@icp.uni-stuttgart.de)

Parameter files for PSS, poly(styrene sulfonate), and PDADMA, poly(diallyldimethylammonium), with 30 monomers. Also includes the Martini 2.2P parameter file including polystyrene beads (martini_v2.2P_PS.itp)

An example application to simulate an equilibrated PSS/PDADMA mixture including ions and water with all necessary parameter files.

Furthermore, a free program to generate topology files for arbitrarily long PSS or PDADMA chains can be found at: https://github.com/martinvoegele/martini-polyelectrolytes
