Projectomschrijving
 

There are no classical force fields available that can accurately describe organosilica materials. In this project, such a force field will be derived from first principles. By performing classical molecular dynamics simulations with the developed force field, a deeper understanding of the influence of different parameters on the material properties will be obtained. This will guide the experimental design of POSiSils and other organosilica.
