Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

Block copolymer (BCP) represents a special type of polymeric system where each of the
polymer chains is composed of two or more chemically distinct homopolymer blocks that are …

We propose a new numerical technique to deal with nonlinear terms in gradient flows. By
introducing a scalar auxiliary variable (SAV), we construct efficient and robust energy stable …

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

Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

We review a class of new computer simulation methods for polymeric fluids and other soft
condensed matter systems that are based on an underlying field-theoretic description …

Polymer vesicles prepared by self-assembly techniques have attracted increasing scientific
interest in recent years. This is as a result of their numerous potential applications such as …

In a physically confined environment, interfacial interactions, symmetry breaking, structural
frustration and confinement-induced entropy loss can play dominant roles in determining …

We present a theoretical framework and computer simulation methodology for investigating
the equilibrium structure and properties of mesostructured polymeric fluids with embedded …

▪ Abstract Polymers offer a wide spectrum of possibilities for materials applications, in part
because of the chemical complexity and variability of the constituent molecules, and in part …
