| #28 - Mathematical and Computational Techniques for Solvent Mediated Interactions (01A07) | |||
| This session deals with analytical or simulation approaches to both equilibrium and dynamical phenomena involving interactions between surfaces, colloidal particles, nanoparticles, polymers, proteins and/or other biomacromolecules in aqueous or organic solvents. Emphasis is on topics specifically related to the solvent effects and possible analytical/simulation approaches to coarse-graining such effects. Furthermore, molecular modeling methods pertaining to solvent-mediated interactions and their applications to predict the mesoscopic or macroscopic properties of materials, function, thermodynamic and dynamic behavior of biomacromolecules are also appropriate. | |||
