The main research interests in our group are to develop and utilize multiscale simulation approaches to study various interesting phenomena in soft matter systems, especially for polymer systems in bulk, in solution and at interfaces. Topics in our group include:

1. Self-assembly behavior of polymers, nanoparticles in solution and in bulk

2. Dynamics and structure properties of polymer systems, especially for polymer/nanoparticle composite systems

3. Macroscopic properties of polymer/nanoparticle composites measured at non-equilibrium conditions (viscosity & mechanical properties)

4. Develop simulation models, methods and software for MD simulations

2015 The excellent young scientist foundation of NNSFC.
