Field-Theoretic Computer Simulation Methods for Polymers and Complex Fluids
Abstract
We review a class of new computer simulation methods for polymeric fluids and other soft condensed matter systems that are based on an underlying field-theoretic description. These methods, while still in an early stage of development, show considerable promise for studying the equilibrium properties of many-component systems capable of intricate self-assembly, such as solutions and blends containing block and graft copolymers. Field-theoretic simulation methods also provide a great deal of flexibility in model building and coarse graining, and appear to be particularly well suited to treat systems with soft, long-range interactions, such as polyelectrolytes. We attempt to connect various related theoretical approaches, such as self-consistent field theory and dynamic density functional theory, within a common framework.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
