Architectural coatings/paints play a very important role in our world, making our houses and
workplaces beautiful, comfortable, and energy-efficient. Polymeric components of coating …

A smart city model views the city as a complex adaptive system consisting of services,
resources, and citizens that learn through interaction and change in both the spatial and …

Polymer materials are multiscale systems by definition. Already the description of a single
macromolecule involves a multitude of scales, and cooperative processes in polymer …

Attributed to its strain-induced crystallization (SIC), natural rubber (NR) exhibits more
excellent mechanical properties compared to other elastomeric materials and has been …

In recent years, the synthesis of monomer sequence-defined polymers has expanded into
broad-spectrum applications in biomedical, chemical, and materials science fields. Pursuing …

Predicting the properties of complex polymeric materials based on monomer chemistry
requires modeling physical interactions that bridge molecular, interchain, microstructure …

This work presents a framework governing the development of an efficient, accurate, and
transferable coarse-grained (CG) model of a polyether material. The framework combines …

We derive a systematic and general method for parameterizing coarse-grained molecular
models consisting of anisotropic particles from fine-grained (eg, all-atom) models for …

Many food emulsions are stabilized by functional egg yolk biomolecules, which act as
surfactants at the oil/water interface. Detailed experimental studies on egg yolk emulsifying …

Crazing precedes the crack propagation in polymer glass and greatly increases the fracture
toughness. We perform molecular dynamics simulations to study craze formation in glassy …
