Dormancy is an evolutionarily conserved protective mechanism widely observed in nature. A
pathological example is found during cancer metastasis, where cancer cells disseminate …

In the midst of an exciting era of polymer nanoscience, where the development of materials
and understanding of properties at the nanoscale remain a major R&D endeavor, there are …

Nanoindentation studies of the mechanical properties of sufficiently thin polymer films,
supported by stiff substrates, indicate that the mechanical moduli are generally higher than …

The formation of the surface-induced stratified lamellar composition profile experimentally
evidenced in spincoated layers of the photovoltaic donor–acceptor blend consisting of poly …

We present results from extensive three-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations
of phase separation kinetics in fluids. A coarse-graining procedure is used to obtain state-of …

2-TIPS (two temperature induced phase separation) refers to the phase separation
phenomenon observed in mixtures of active and passive particles which are modelled using …

Cell dynamics simulation (CDS) is a fast method to simulate kinetic processes in phase
separating systems of large sizes. We review this method applied to block copolymer …

We present the phase separation dynamics of a binary (AB), simple fluid (SF), and
amphiphilic polymer (AP) mixture using dissipative particle dynamics simulation at d= 3. We …

We study the diffusive dynamics of phase separation in a symmetric binary (A+ B) mixture
with a 50: 50 composition of A and B particles, following a quench below the demixing …

Porous materials, which are characterized by the large surface area and percolated nature
crucial for transport, play an important role in many technological applications including …
