Multiscale Modeling of Particle Interactions (PDF)

Discover how the latest computational tools are building our
understanding of particle interactions and leading to new
applications

With this book as their guide, readers will gain a new
appreciation of the critical role that particle interactions play
in advancing research and developing new applications in the
biological sciences, chemical engineering, toxicology, medicine,
and manufacturing technology The book explores particles ranging in
size from cations to whole cells to tissues and processed
materials. A focus on recreating complex, real-world dynamical
systems helps readers gain a deeper understanding of cell and
tissue mechanics, theoretical aspects of multiscale modeling, and
the latest applications in biology and nanotechnology.

Following an introductory chapter, Multiscale Modeling of
Particle 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 in
nanofluidic systems

* Molecular dynamics modeling of nanodroplets and
nanoparticles

* Modeling the interactions between compliant microcapsules and
patterned 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 immune
cells under flow

Each article was contributed by one or more leading experts and
pioneers in the field. All readers, from chemists and biologists to
engineers and students, will gain new insights into how the latest
tools in computational science can improve our understanding of
particle interactions and support the development of novel
applications across the broad spectrum of disciplines in biology
and nanotechnology.
