Project C01: Using molecular fields to bridge between particle and continuum representations of macromolecular systems
URL Slug:
project-c01-using-molecular-fields-to-bridge-between-particle-and-continuum-representations
Description:
In this project, we explore the potential of so-called “molecular field” theories to bridge between particle-based and continuum representations of macromolecular materials. Regarding static equilibrium properties, they canbe linked to particle models via the well-established self-consistent field theory, a sophisticated density functional theory for polymers, and extensions thereof. Our goal is to design systematic mapping procedures for dynamic properties, i.e., devising dynamic density functionals (DDFs) of comparable quality.
