Dear David, I apologize for the confusion. There are no partial charges on the graphene sheet . The only interactions between the sheet and water are from VdW interactions. To give some background: We were initially simulating graphene oxide with water which has partial charges. Then to test the

Dear David, Vitaly and all, Thanks for the thoughts/comments. There are no partial charges on the carbons in this sheet. (Sorry if there was any confusion about this). I used gromacs_4.5.5 version for these simulations. I also did increase the graphene sheet size to 10 nm x 10 nm and the box size
