Abstract
This collection of papers gives an introduction and overview of recent developments in polymer/soft matter simulations. The variety of the contributions reflects the fact that soft matter not only is based on a fast-growing body of elementary chemical structures but even more so on the way these structures are organized and interact with each other resulting in their specific structure/morphology and function.
