Multiscale Modeling of Polymers

Abstract

Meeting today’s technological challenges calls for a quantitative understanding of structure-property-processing-performance relations in materials. Developing precisely this understanding constitutes the main objective of materials modeling and simulation. Along with novel experimental techniques, which probe matter at an increasingly finer scale, and new screening strategies, such as high-throughput experimentation, modeling has become an indispensable tool in the development of new materials and products.
