| Research Abstract |
To study mesoscopic dynamics of polymer/surfactant systems, we developed hybrid methods where field theories and molecular models are combined.
1) Using a hybrid method of self-consistent field and molecular dynamics simulation, we simulated membrane structures. 2) A combination of self-consistent field theory and phase field theory was applied to deformations of membranes that contain polymers and flow behavior of these membranes. 3) Worm-like micellar systems were simulated using a newly-developed coarse-grained particle model with hydrodynamic equation for the solvent. This model was further combined with a macroscopic flow simulator that can simulate inhomogeneous flows.
