#703 - Multiscale Modeling and Characterization of Polymers (08A17)
This session focuses on multiscale simulation to characterize the behavior of polymeric materials and produce insight into structure property relationships. The appropriate simulation protocols span or connect two or more scales of time, size or detail in the polymeric materials.
