Επίδραση της τασιενεργής ουσίας μεθυλογλυοξάλης στη δημιουργία πυρήνων συμπύκνωσης νεφών (CCN) στην ατμόσφαιρα

Abstract

The present dissertation aims at defining the interactions between organic surfactant species and ingredients in cloud condensation nuclei. The goal is to give insight into the effects of surfactant species on the formation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), using a computer model. This was achieved by using the principles of Molecular Mechanics and Dynamics. The theory behind the methods employed in this study is presented in the first part of the manuscript. Furthermore, the effect of the surfactant organic compound 'methylglyoxal' in the atmospheric aerosols for the formation of cloud condensation nuclei is depicted.
