Among various simulation methods, coarse-grained (CG) model is particularly impactful because it effectively reduces the computational complexity and enables the simulation of large-scale polymer systems. In this review, we briefly summarize recent progresses in our group on the development of CG simulation methods, models, as well as in the software development. By compiling the CG models and various simulation methods, we have successfully developed a GPU-accelerated large-scale molecular simulation toolkit (GALAMOST), which provides an efficient platform for polymer simulations. We further developed the new-generation PyGAMD (Python GPU-Accelerated MD Software, website: <span>http://pygamd.com/</span><svg><path></path></svg>) software based on the Python platform, which makes the polymer simulation more powerful, flexible and user-friendly. In addition, some recent application cases in different polymer systems are also introduced. The aspiration of this review is to assist researchers in understanding the role of molecular simulations in the design and development of advanced polymer materials not only for academic researches, but also for possible industrial applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10151,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140057660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inherent metastability was identified by the characteristic local minima and the transition states preventing their dissociation and verified by <em>ab initio</em><span><span> molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The nature of involved interactions was deciphered with the energy decomposition approach based on the block-localized wavefunction method (BLW-ED). Like the conventional neutral π-π stacking interactions, electron correlation is the most attractive energy component. But it is overturned by the Coulombic repulsion between net charges for all modes of </span>dimerization<span>, resulting in the overall repulsive inter-cation or anion interactions. Contributions from van der Waals interactions were also observed in the reduced density gradient analysis. The origin of the metastability was elucidated by examining the contributions of individual physical factors to the well-depths. The inherent metastability originates from the electron correlation, which dramatically increases due to the enhanced overlap between ions from a transition state to its corresponding minimum.</span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":10151,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139656817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
