Structure–property relationships in ABC-type polymer carriers: exploring drug loading and release behavior via dissipative particle dynamics simulation [PDF]

RSC Advances
The topological architecture of polymer carriers is a critical determinant of their drug loading capacity and release characteristics. This study employed dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations to systematically investigate the drug distribution

Block Copolymer Nanocontainers

ACS Nano, 2010
Using cell dynamics computer simulation, we perform a systematic study of thin block copolymer films around a nanoparticle. Lamellar-, cylinder-, and sphere-forming block copolymers are investigated with respect to different film thicknesses, particle radii, and boundary conditions at the film interfaces.

What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...
