Abstract

In this work, a molecular modeling method was used to investigate the interactions between PAMAM with different generations and silica acid molecules in neutral solution. The calculated results show that adsorption interactions of silicic acid molecules with the generation 2.0 PAMAM molecule are stronger than those with the generation 1.5 PAMAM molecule. The adsorption interactions are dominated by electrostatic interactions, vdW interactions as well as O⋯H-O and C-H⋯O H- bond interactions. We qualitatively discuss the effect of PAMAM molecules on the silica polymerization in neutral solution, where the inhibition effect of generation 2.0 is better than that of generation 1.5. The theoretical discussion is in reasonable agreement with experiment results.
