Composites III: Modeling of Composites


Description:
This session invites contributions dealing with the simulation and theory of composites, including stimuli responses to electric and magnetic fields, light, interfacial properties of filler materials, biological recognition, and self-healing properties. Joint computational-experimental efforts are highly welcome. Special emphasis is also anticipated for studies of roles of cure and degradation played in nanocomposites, and the analysis of nano-mechanical or bio-mechanical properties, charge transport properties, and advances in modeling and simulation tools, such as Monte Carlo, Molecular Dynamics, and Finite Element Methods.
