IBIsCO: A molecular dynamics simulation package for coarse-grained simulation

IBIsCO is a parallel molecular dynamics simulation package developed specially for coarse-grained simulations with numerical potentials derived by the iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI) method (Reith et al., J Comput Chem 2003, 24, 1624). In addition to common features of molecular dynamics programs, the techniques of dissipative particle dynamics (Groot and Warren, J Chem Phys 1997, 107, 4423...

Size-dependent mechanical behavior of nanoscale polymer particles through coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation

Anisotropic conductive adhesives (ACAs) are promising materials used for producing ultra-thin liquid-crystal displays. Because the mechanical response of polymer particles can have a significant impact in the performance of ACAs, understanding of this apparent size effect is of fundamental importance in the electronics industry. The objective of this research is to use a coarse-grained molecula...

Uniaxial deformation of nanorod filled polymer nanocomposites: a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation.

A coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate the stress-strain behavior of nanorod-filled polymer composites. The effects of the interfacial interaction, aspect ratio of fillers, filler functionalization, chemical couplings between the polymer and the filler and the filler loading on the mechanical reinforcement were explored. The results indicate that there exists an ...

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations are increasingly being used to analyze the behaviors of biological systems. When appropriately used, CGMD can simulate the behaviors of molecular systems several hundred times faster than elaborate all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with similar accuracy. CGMD parameters for lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and some artificial substances...
