摘要: We proposed a modified dissipative particle dynamics simulation model by which one can effectively avoid the bond-crossing problem, and investigated the effect of solvent size on the structural properties of bottle-brush polymers in dilute solution on the basis of this model. It was found that with the increase of solvent size, the radius of the gyration of the bottle-brush polymer decreases considerably in the athermal solvent but increases in the selective solvent favoring the backbone, respectively.
