This study investigates interlayer diffusion dynamics in sodium montmorillonite (Na--MMT), a smectite clay widely used in environmental remediation, pharmaceutical formulations, and advanced materials. Understanding diffusion in Na--MMT is…

A nonionic surfactant, the tri-ethylene glycol mono n-decyl ether (C10E3), characterized by its lamellar phase state, was introduced in the interlayer of a Na-montmorillonite clay at several concentrations. The synthesized organoclays were…

The objective of this work is to assess computationally efficient coarse-grained plasticity models against high-fidelity crystal plasticity simulations for magnesium polycrystals over a wide range of textures and grain sizes. A basic…

We consider a coarse-grained (CG) model with pairwise interactions, suitable to describe low-density solutions of star-branched polymers of functionality $f$. Each macromolecule is represented by a CG molecule with $(f+1)$ interaction…

MARTINI is a popular coarse-grained force-field that is mainly used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It is based on the ``Lego'' approach where intermolecular interactions between coarse-grained beads representing chemical units of…

The properties of soft electronic materials depend on the coupling of electronic and conformational degrees of freedom over a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. Description of such properties requires multiscale approaches capable of, at…

We study swelling and structural properties of ionic microgel suspensions within a comprehensive coarse-grained model that combines the polymeric and colloidal natures of microgels as permeable, compressible, charged spheres governed by…

Controlled assembly of single-crystal, colloidal maghemite nanoparticles is facilitated via a high-temperature polyol-based pathway. Structural characterization shows that size-tunable nanoclusters of 50 and 86 nm diameters (D), with high…

Ionic polymer-metal composites consist in a thin film of electro-active polymers (Nafion R for example) sandwiched between two metallic electrodes. They can be used as sensors or actuators. The polymer is saturated with water, which causes…

To study the cooling behavior and the glass transition of polymer melts in bulk and with free surfaces a coarse-grained weakly semi-flexible polymer model is developed. Based on a standard bead spring model with purely repulsive…

We present a promising coarse-graining strategy for linking micro- and mesoscales of soft matter systems. The approach is based on effective pairwise interaction potentials obtained from detailed atomistic molecular dynamics (MD)…

We use the phase-field method to study the martensitic transformation at the nanoscale. For nanosystems such as nanowires and nanograins embedded in a stiff matrix, the geometric constraints and boundary conditions have an impact on…

Extensive first-principle calculations on embedded clusters containing few O, Y, Ti, and Cr atoms as well as vacancies are performed to obtain interaction parameters to be applied in Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations, within the framework…

A hierarchical (triple scale) simulation methodology is presented for the prediction of the dynamical and rheological properties of high molecular weight entangled polymer melts. The methodology consists of atomistic, moderately…

Carbon-nanofillers are known for improving the desired properties of polymers. The dispersion quality of nanofillers in the matrix is vital for the fabrication of high-performance nanocomposites. An effective approach for improving…

A coarse-graining strategy, previously developed for polymer solutions, is extended here to mixtures of linear polymers and hard-sphere colloids. In this approach groups of monomers are mapped onto a single pseudoatom (a blob) and the…

We present a Monte Carlo (MC) grid-based model for the drying of drops of a nanoparticle suspension upon a heterogeneous surface. The model consists of a generalised lattice-gas in which the interaction parameters in the Hamiltonian can be…

A coarse-grained simulation model eliminates microscopic degrees of freedom and represents a polymer by a simplified structure. A priori, two classes of coarse-grained models may be distinguished: those which are designed for a specific…

We report a novel multi-scale simulation methodology to quantitatively predict the thermodynamic behaviour of polymer mixtures, that exhibit phases with broken orientational symmetry. Our system consists of a binary mixture of oligomers and…

A first-principle multiscale modeling approach is presented, which is derived from the solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation for the coarse-grained representation of polymer liquids. The approach is analytical, and for this reason is…
