Discover how the latest computational tools are building ourunderstanding of particle interactions and leading to newapplications
With this book as their guide, readers will gain a newappreciation of the critical role that particle interactions playin advancing research and developing new applications in thebiological sciences, chemical engineering, toxicology, medicine,and manufacturing technology The book explores particles ranging insize from cations to whole cells to tissues and processedmaterials. A focus on recreating complex, real-world dynamicalsystems helps readers gain a deeper understanding of cell andtissue mechanics, theoretical aspects of multiscale modeling, andthe latest applications in biology and nanotechnology.
Following an introductory chapter, Multiscale Modeling ofParticle Interactions is divided into two parts:
Part I, Applications in Nanotechnology, covers:
* Multiscale modeling of nanoscale aggregation phenomena:applications in semiconductor materials processing
* Multiscale modeling of rare events in self-assembled systems
* Continuum description of atomic sheets
* Coulombic dragging and mechanical propelling of molecules innanofluidic systems
* Molecular dynamics modeling of nanodroplets andnanoparticles
* Modeling the interactions between compliant microcapsules andpatterned surfaces
Part II, Applications in Biology, covers:
* Coarse-grained and multiscale simulations of lipid bilayers
* Stochastic approach to biochemical kinetics
* In silico modeling of angiogenesis at multiple scales
* Large-scale simulation of blood flow in microvessels
* Molecular to multicellular deformation during adhesion of immunecells under flow
Each article was contributed by one or more leading experts andpioneers in the field. All readers, from chemists and biologists toengineers and students, will gain new insights into how the latesttools in computational science can improve our understanding ofparticle interactions and support the development of novelapplications across the broad spectrum of disciplines in biologyand nanotechnology.
