Diffusiophoresis is the motion of one species in response to a gradient in the concentration of another. In this poster, we report a numerical study of the diffusiophoresis of short polymers using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. More precisely, we consider a polymer chain in a fluid containing a solute that has a concentration gradient and examine the variation of the induced diffusiophoretic velocity of the polymer chain, as the interaction between the monomer and the solute is varied.
