Toy Models for Amphiphilic Molecules?

摘要

Natural and artificial amphiphiles are omnipresent in life and technology. Studying amphiphilic systems with generic models has a long-standing tradition. Generic coarse-grained models are designed such that they are (ⅰ) simple and (ⅱ) computationally efficient. A priori, they do not aim at representing particular materials, but classes of materials, hence they can offer insight into universal properties of these classes.
