    • Computational Methods for the Multiscale Modeling of Soft Matter

      • 1st Edition
      • Paola Carbone + 1 more
      • English
      This book provides a concise description of a variety of simulation methods to model soft matter with a particular focus on polymeric systems. Along with the fundamental concepts of the theory behind the methods, a comprehensive set of examples taken from the broad pool of soft materials is included. These exemplify how, thanks to the increased computational resources nowadays available to almost any research group, computational methods have become a powerful tool to sit alongside other experimental characterizations and show their increasing relevance for the manufacturing sector. Chapters illustrate how modeling techniques can be used to aid interpretation of experimental data, and how experiments can be used to parameterize models.Bringing together all these modeling approaches and applications into one coherent volume, Computational Methods for the Multiscale Modeling of Soft Matter provides a one-stop resource that is written primarily for postgraduate students and researchers in materials science, computational physics, and chemists and chemical engineers interested in learning about simulation methods for soft materials such as polymers, surfactants, and colloids.This is the first volume to publish in Elsevier's Methods in Molecular and Materials Modelling book series, curated by Sir Richard Catlow.

    • Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (WSMOFs)

      • 1st Edition
      • Lei Guo + 3 more
      • English
      Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (WSMOFs) presents water-stable metal-organic frameworks for mitigating environmental pollutants, i.e. sensing and degradation/removal applications to protect the ecological system, both environmental and aquatic life, from various types of toxic pollutants released from industries. The pressing challenge of extracting common pollutants, including heavy metal ions, anions, oil, and radionuclides from water sources is a critical issue due to the widespread problem of environmental contamination. Various approaches have been explored for this purpose, such as sorbents, chemical precipitation, and traditional membrane separation. However, these methods often suffer from inadequate selectivity and low pollutant uptake.Developing water-stable MOFs is the key to advancing effective water purification techniques, but the primary challenge lies in crafting MOF structures that can maintain their stability when exposed to water.
