The forced translocation of a polymer chain through repulsive nanopores was studied by using Langevin dynamics simulations. The polymer is in the compact globule state at low temperature and in the random coil state at high temperature. Simulation results show that the mean translocation time 〈τ〉 is highly dependent on the temperature T and the minimal 〈τ〉 is located near the coil-globule transition temperature. Moreover, the scaling behaviors 〈τ〉 ∼ _N_α and 〈τ〉 ∼ F_−_δ are studied, with N the polymer length and F the driving force inside the nanopore. Universal values α = 1.4 and δ = 0.85 are observed for the polymer in the random coil state. While for the polymer in the compact globule state, α decreases from α = 2 at weak driving to 1.2 at strong driving for short N and δ increases with decreasing T in the low F region, but we find universal exponents α = 1.6 for long N and δ = 0.85 in the large F region. Results show that polymer’s conformation plays a much more important role than the diffusion coefficient in controlling the translocation time of the polymer chain.
