Materials Use Cases

From molecular models to material performance.
Explore the materials questions we have tackled with quantum-informed models, molecular dynamics, free-energy analysis and reusable simulation workflows.
Eight views into the design space.
Each example starts with a material question, models the governing molecular behavior, and identifies a more focused experimental path.
Surface affinity and adhesion
Quantum-informed parameters and explicit molecular dynamics resolve binding modes and solvent effects at a chemically complex surface. The model identifies interaction motifs that can improve retention.
Temperature-dependent phase stability
Temperature-resolved molecular dynamics tracks orientational order across native and designed lyotropic materials, revealing transition windows before synthesis.
Glass-transition behavior
Atomistic copolymer models, simulated annealing and density analysis connect architecture to mobility and packing, supporting formulation ranking before thermal analysis.
110 simulations from one resin model
A parameterized ion-exchange resin became a structured comparison across PFAS identity, resin quaternization and alkyl chain length.
Explore PFAS work ↗Charge, hydration and morphology
Explicit material and guest models show how ion-exchange loading, water distribution and matrix accessibility govern affinity and chain-length selectivity.
Explore PFAS work ↗Dendrimer binding microstates
Conformations, protonation and guest chain length create a distribution of realistic states. Free-energy calculations separate hydration penalties from favorable host–guest contacts.
Explore PFAS work ↗Access before attraction
Electrostatic affinity matters only when sites remain accessible. The simulations point to functionalization that balances contact with water uptake as guest size changes.
Explore PFAS work ↗Polymer design for dye capture
Molecular dynamics compared candidate polymers against a reference dye in water. Interaction energies and contact geometries revealed how aromatic stacking, herringbone contacts and hydration shaped binding, providing a candidate ranking and motifs for further polymer design.
