Molecular Simulations and Multiphysics Nanoscale Coupling focuses on the theoretical foundations and numerical methods for studying the behavior of materials and the coupling of mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale.
Traditionally, most synthetically developed materials are hardened by heating them to an elevated temperature, a process requiring large amounts of energy and space.
Nitroxide-mediated polymerization is an important branch of controlled radical polymerization, which has revolutionised the preparation of polymer architectures and compositions.
Information technology is essential to our daily life, and the limitations of silicone based memory systems mean a growing amount of research is focussed on finding an inexpensive alternative to meet our needs and allow the continued development of the industry.
Advances in technology have rapidly changed the way we treat ophthalmic diseases, especially with the development of new biomaterials used as prosthetics, for drug delivery devices, or to regenerate tissue.
