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

Many physical phenomena and properties of soft matter systems such as synthetic or
biological materials are governed by interactions and processes on a wide range of length …

The glass transition is well known to glass makers or from the common ex perience of drying
a used chewing gum. A liquid melt or a rubber becomes a solid glass when its temperature …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

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

The paper introduces a systematic procedure to coarse grain atomistic polymer models into
a mesoscopic model, which then allows an effective and fast simulation of melts. The …

The mechanical and physical properties of polymeric materials originate from the interplay of
phenomena at different spatial and temporal scales. As such, it is necessary to adopt …

This article reviews the progress that has been made in recent years in computer modelling
of the transport of small atoms, molecules and ions through synthetic polymers. We discuss …

Recent developments that increase the time and distance scales accessible in the
simulations of specific polymers are reviewed. Several different techniques are similar in that …

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 …
