To evaluate shear viscosity of ehylene glycol oligomers (EGO)/water binary mixture by means of coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations, we proposed the self-diffusion-coefficient-based parameterization of non-bonded interactions among CG particles. Our parameterization procedure consists of three steps: 1)determination of bonded potentials, 2)scaling for time and solvent diffusivity, and 3)optimization of Lennard-Jones parameters to reproduce experimental self-diffusion coefficient data. With the determined parameters and the scaling relations, we evaluated shear viscosities of EGO/water binary mixtures, which are in close agreement with the experimental data, without any further fitting procedure. The largest simulation in this article corresponds to a 1.2 microseconds atomistic simulation for 100,000 atoms. Our CG model with the parameterization scheme for CG particles may be useful to study the dynamic properties of a liquid which contains relatively low molecular weight polymers or oligomers.
