Investigating the wettability of graphene in the presence of gold nanoparticles of different sizes using molecular dynamics simulations

Recently, significant attentions have been focused on the properties of graphene surfaces, leading to numerous studies aimed at understanding the behavior of water droplets on these surfaces. These investigations reveal the graphene surface's hydrophobicity and the high mobility of water droplets on it. In various applications, particularly in nanobiotechnology, minimizing droplet displacement on solid substrates is crucial. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were used to explore the dynamic and structural properties of wettability of graphene by incorporating gold nanoparticles of varying sizes into the water droplet. This approach aims to enhance our ability to control droplet movement across the surface.
