Silica Aerogels: A Review of Molecular Dynamics Modelling and Characterization of the Structural, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50257-1_83-1 The second volume of the Handbook of Materials Modeling is now online: We reviewed the development of new empirical molecular dynamics forcefields, novel methods of generating aerogelsโ percolated backbones, and compelling algorithms for characterizing their structural, mechanical, and thermal properties that have resulted in unprecedented insights into silica aerogels.
