We offer our expertise within a diverse range of issues related to design, synthesis, characterization and computer modelling of polymer systems, across the broad range of their applications.
Using computer simulations, we are able to provide insight into the processes on a molecular basis and foreshadow the targeted synthesis and (self)assembly.
- Coarse-grained simulations allow us to model macromolecules and nanostructures on length scales > 10 nm, beyond the reach of conventional atomistic simulations.
"Our mission is the understanding and design of novel soft and responsive nanomaterials using a combination of experiments and computer modeling."
- Association of block copolymers
- Ionization behaviour of pH-responsive (weak) polyelectrolyte systems
