Despite the intense activity at the electronic and atomistic resolutions, coarse grained (CG) modeling of MOFs remains largely unexplored. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of adequate CG force fields. In this work, we present…
Decoding the self-assembly mechanism of metal-organic frameworks is a crucial step in reducing trial-and-error tests in their synthesis protocols. Atomistic simulations have proven essential in revealing molecular-level features of MOF…
We report on a molecular dynamics investigation of the wetting properties of graphitic surfaces by various solutions at concentrations 1-8 wt% of commercially available non-ionic surfactants with long hydrophilic chains, linear or T-shaped.…
Simulations have acted as a cornerstone to understand MOF/polymer interface structure, however, no molecular-level simulation has yet been performed at the nanoparticle scale. In this work, a hybrid MARTINI/Force Matching (FM) force field…
The synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in a monolithic morphology is a promising way to achieve the transition of this class of materials from academia to industrial applications. The sol-gel process has been widely employed to…
We have developed a coarse-grained (CG) model of a polymer-clay system consisting of organically modified montmorillonite nanoclay as the nanoparticle in accordance with the MARTINI forcefield. We have used mechanical properties and…
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is an excellent film-forming material, and adding fillers such as tetramethylammonium-montmorillonite (TMA-MMT) clay has significantly expanded its use in packaging applications. We first used all-atom (AA)…
Coarse-graining (CG) reduces molecular details to extend the time and length scales of molecular dynamics simulations to microseconds and micrometers. However, the CG approaches have long been limited by the difficulty of constructing both…
The Martini 3 force field is a full re-parametrization of the Martini coarse-grained model for biomolecular simulations. Due to the improved interaction balance it allows for more accurate description of condensed phase systems. In the…
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs) are an interesting class of 2D materials since their reticular synthesis allows the tailored design of structures and functionalities. For many of their applications the mechanical…
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…
This paper presents an extended coarse-grained investigation of the elastic properties of polystyrene. In particular, we employ the well-known MARTINI force field and its modifications to perform extended molecular dynamics simulations at…
The enormous structural and chemical diversity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) forces researchers to actively use simulation techniques on an equal footing with experiments. MOFs are widely known for outstanding adsorption properties, so…
Recently, there have been significant advancements in the study of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), particularly in the discovery of glassy states in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a subset of MOFs. However, the correlation between…
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks are widely thought of as being analogous to inorganic AB$_{2}$ phases. We test the validity of this assumption by comparing simplified and fully atomistic machine-learning models for local environments in…
MOF/polymer composites have been widely investigated in the past decade for gas separation applications. However, the impact of MOF nanoparticle morphology and size in gas separation have not yet been systematically studied by computer…
Coarse graining enables the investigation of molecular dynamics for larger systems and at longer timescales than is possible at atomic resolution. However, a coarse graining model must be formulated such that the conclusions we draw from it…
We introduce and demonstrate the coarse-graining of static and dynamical properties of host-guest systems constituted by methane in two different microporous materials. The reference systems are mapped to occupancy-based pore-scale lattice…
Increasing the efficiency of materials design and discovery remains a significant challenge, especially given the prohibitively large size of chemical compound space. The use of a chemically transferable coarse-grained model enables…
Theoretical studies on the experimental feasibility of hypothetical Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF) have focused so far on relative energy of various polymorphs, by energy minimization at the quantum chemical level. We present here a…
