Abstract
⺠One of the first potential of mean force studies on solvent effects on nanoparticles interactions. ⺠Computed nanoparticles free energy profiles are stable and depend on their relative orientations. ⺠Our studies using methanol as solvents reveals that methanol binds strongly to the nanoparticles. ⺠That makes the free energy profile more repulsive when compared to water and n-hexane. ⺠Dynamics of the n-hexane molecules was significantly influenced by the solvated nanoparticles.
