We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

Polymers can be theoretically and computationally described by models pertaining to
different length scales and corresponding time scales. These models have traditionally been …

The clustering and stability of magnetic nanoparticles coated with random copolymers of
acrylic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, and vinylsulfonic acid has been studied. Clusters larger …

We develop coarse-grained (CG) computer simulation models of poly (3-
hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and P3HT/fullerene-C60 mixtures, in which collections of atoms from …

Under certain conditions the conjugated polymer poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) self-
assembles into high-aspect-ratio nanostructures (known as nanofibres, nanowires, or …

We report on the synthesis of randomly branched (arborescent) poly (acrylic acid)(PAA) by
self-condensing vinyl copolymerization (SCVCP) of an acrylic AB* inimer, 2-(2 …

Long MD simulations are carried out using a detailed all-atom force field to investigate the
effect of pH or, equivalently, degree of ionization α–(= 0, 50, 100%) and degree of …

Signal transduction in living systems is the conversion of information into a chemical
change, and is the principal process by which cells communicate. In nature, these functions …

A series of sulfonated random and block copolymers were adsorbed on the surface of∼ 100
nm iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles (NPs) to provide colloidal stability in extremely …

The performance of different recently proposed force fields in combination with TIP4P-Ewald
(TIP4P-Ew) water in reproducing experimental data of liquid 1, 2-dimethoxyethane (DME) …
