Multiscale Simulation Methods for Nanomaterials Addresses a Range of Organic, Inorganic and Bio-Materials

DUBLIN, Ireland | Posted on February 20th, 2008

Molecular modeling, with greater accuracy than ever, allows for the fastest and most economical way of experimenting before creating a new product or material. While the scientific world has generally not solved the problem, methods have been developed which are proving feasible in solving specific problems or predicting specific phenomena or properties. Led by editors who have expertise in this area, Multiscale Simulation Methods for Materials explores the impact of using an arsenal of molecular modeling tools for various simulations in industrial settings.

It provides an overview of the available methods for providing atomistic simulation of a broad range of materials using our increased understanding of molecular scale, nanoscale, mesoscale, and macroscale phenomena. The strengths and weaknesses of the methods at hand are discussed within a context of real-world examples. Unlike other texts, this book focuses on the most cutting-edge area within computational chemistry and molecular modeling: macromolecular simulations of a range of materials, and is aimed more toward the chemistry and chemical engineering communities than any previously published titles in this area.

Increasingly useful in materials research and development, molecular modeling is a method that combines computational chemistry techniques with graphics visualization for simulating and predicting the structure, chemical processes, and properties of materials. This book focuses on the area of greatest interest within computational chemistry and molecular simulation--it aims to help predict properties on the macroscale using an understanding of molecular-, nano-, meso-, and macro-scale phenomena such as how molecules cluster, etc. The book will address a range of organic-, inorganic-, and bio-materials including nanomaterials.
