Effective interactions in soft condensed matter physics

CN Likos - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier
In this work, we present a review of recently achieved progress in the field of soft condensed
matter physics, and in particular on the study of the static properties of solutions or …

Dendrimers in solution: insight from theory and simulation

M Ballauff, CN Likos - Angewandte Chemie International …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
A variety of experimental and theoretical approaches show that, akin to linear polymers,
dendrimers in good solvent conditions are best described as flexible macromolecular …

Deriving effective mesoscale potentials from atomistic simulations

D Reith, M Pütz, F Müller‐Plathe - Journal of computational …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We demonstrate how an iterative method for potential inversion from distribution functions
developed for simple liquid systems can be generalized to polymer systems. It uses the …

Polymers at interfaces and the interactions in colloidal dispersions

A Vrij - Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1976 - degruyter.com
Solutions of different polymers in the same solvent are incompatible as a rule and show
phase separation when they are mixed. H incompatibility is also to be observed in systems …

Statistical mechanics where Newton's third law is broken

AV Ivlev, J Bartnick, M Heinen, CR Du, V Nosenko… - Physical Review X, 2015 - APS
There is a variety of situations in which Newton's third law is violated. Generally, the action-
reaction symmetry can be broken for mesoscopic particles, when their effective interactions …

Understanding and modeling polymers: The challenge of multiple scales

F Schmid - ACS Polymers Au, 2022 - ACS Publications
Polymer materials are multiscale systems by definition. Already the description of a single
macromolecule involves a multitude of scales, and cooperative processes in polymer …

Beware of density dependent pair potentials

AA Louis - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
Density (or state) dependent pair potentials arise naturally from coarse-graining procedures
in many areas of condensed matter science. However, correctly using them to calculate …

Multiscale modeling of emergent materials: biological and soft matter

T Murtola, A Bunker, I Vattulainen, M Deserno… - Physical Chemistry …, 2009 - pubs.rsc.org
In this review, we focus on four current related issues in multiscale modeling of soft and
biological matter. First, we discuss how to use structural information from detailed models (or …

Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?

M Müller, K Katsov, M Schick - Physics Reports, 2006 - Elsevier
We discuss the role coarse-grained models play in the investigation of the structure and
thermodynamics of bilayer membranes, and we place them in the context of alternative …
