This study introduces a new coarse-graining method to simplify polymer simulations by tabulating interactions. This approach reduces computational cost while maintaining accuracy for polymer and phenyl ring systems.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Materials science
  • Polymer physics

Background:

  • Atomistic polymer simulations are computationally intensive due to large length and time scales.
  • Detailed atomistic representations are often unnecessary for capturing macroscopic polymer behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel coarse-graining method for nonbonded interactions in polymer systems, focusing on phenyl rings.
  • To reduce the computational expense of polymer simulations through a simplified representation.

Main Methods:

  • A new coarse-graining method based on precalculated and tabulated interaction energies between molecular moieties.
  • Validation through comparative simulations of benzene liquid using both coarse-grained and fully atomistic models.
  • Investigation of coarse-grained model assumptions and energy table parameters.

Main Results:

  • The coarse-graining method accurately reproduces structural and thermodynamic properties of benzene liquid compared to atomistic simulations.
  • Analysis of the impact of model assumptions and energy table discretization on simulation outcomes.
  • Successful demonstration of reverse mapping from coarse-grained to atomistic representations.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed coarse-graining method offers a computationally efficient alternative for polymer simulations.
  • The method provides a balance between accuracy and computational cost for systems with phenyl rings.
  • The study validates the approach and explores its parameter sensitivity and applicability.
