Modeling Solution Drying by Moving a Liquid-Vapor Interface: Method and Applications

Yanfei Tang, John E. McLaughlan, Gary S. Grest +1

A method of simulating the drying process of a soft matter solution with an implicit solvent model by moving the liquid-vapor interface is applied to various solution films and dro…

Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Modeling of A Branched Polyetherimide

Chengyuan Wen, Roy Odle, Shengfeng Cheng

A coarse-grained model is developed to allow large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a branched polyetherimide derived from two backbone monomers [4,4'-bisphenol A dianh…
