Simulation Topologies and Structures for Polymer Swelling Study

Files supporting a published study on controlling swelling in mixed transport polymers through alkyl side chain physical cross-linking. The dataset includes topology files, a forcefield, final structures, and checkpoint files for simulations. It was produced by Nicholas Siemons of Imperial College London for a paper published in PNAS.

Use Cases

• Extending molecular dynamics simulations based on the provided checkpoint files.
• Validating forcefield parameters for polymer systems.
• Analyzing final simulation structures to study polymer swelling behavior.
• Replicating computational results from the published PNAS paper.

Strengths

• Includes the specific forcefield used for the published simulations.
• Contains final structures for each simulation run.
• Provides checkpoint files allowing other users to continue the simulations.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Trajectory data for the simulations is not included and requires contacting the authors.
