Mesoscale modelling of colloidal systems and complex fluids

Mesoscale modelling of colloidal systems and complex fluids is a field of research that focuses on understanding the behavior and properties of materials at an intermediate scale, between the molecular and macroscopic levels. Computational techniques are employed to simulate and predict the interactions, dynamics, and self-assembly of colloidal particles and complex fluids. By unraveling the complex phenomena occurring at the mesoscale, such as phase transitions, rheological behavior, and pattern formation, valuable insights pave the way for the design and engineering of functional materials with applications ranging from drug delivery and nanotechnology to soft matter physics and biomaterials.
